NASA's Juno Mission Just Stared Right Into Jupiter's Angry Red Eye And Beamed Back Breathtaking Images

Finally it’s here. The most awaited photoshoot of the year.  For the first time ever, researchers are able to see, in detail, the huge Great Red Spot first detected on Jupiter in the 1600s but constantly observed since 1830. The spacecraft sent back images of what’s really a massive storm raging on the planet’s surface. That data is starting to be received by NASA.

The agency is boosting citizen-scientists like Jason Major to work on the raw images being beamed from the spacecraft. Here are some of those breathtaking images.

She wrote: “I really think Pluto should be a main planet again like Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus & Neptune, because in one video I watched called 'Let's go meet the plan...
