A Whole New Jupiter: NASA's $1.1 Billion Spacecraft Beams Back New Mysterious Views of Biggest Planet in Our Solar System

NASA’s Juno mission, which was started in 2011 and initiated its first orbit last year, allows researchers to view Jupiter in new ways thanks to the probe's extremely elliptical orbit, which travels over the planet's poles and plunges within 5,000km (3,100 miles) of its cloud tops. Now the NASA probe has taken new images of the gas giant's hectic cyclones, which are up to 1,400km (870 miles) across, approximately the length of Japan. A statement by NASA described the planet as 'a complex, gigantic, turbulent world' that is far not the same as researchers previously thought. This image shows Jupiter's South Pole [Jupiter from bottom], as seen by NASA's Juno spacecraft from an altitude of 32,000 miles (52,000 kilometers). Two research papers in the journal Science and 44 research papers in Geophysical Research Letters explain a trove of findings made since Juno started orbiting Jupiter last year. Scott Bolton, Juno principal investigator from the Southwest R...
