PICTURE OF THE WEEK: STORM CLOUD ON JUPITER
by Hazed
In early February the Juno spacecraft captured an image of one of the massive swirling storm clouds on Jupiter. It is almost as large as the Earth, and is a high pressure system equivalent to an anticyclone on our planet.
The picture shows turbulence flowing around and past the white oval, which is one of a “string of pearls” ovals south of Jupiter’s famous Great Red Spot.
