On Wednesday last week NASA’s Juno spacecraft looped around Jupiter for the 44th time. As it did it took another set of jaw-dropping images of the giant planet.
They were transmitted to Earth late last week and since then a team of citizen scientists have processed the data—and data showing Jupiter itself—into this stunning collection of images of its swirling storms and cyclones.

In a long elliptical orbit of Jupiter since 2016, NASA’s $1.1 billion Juno spacecraft’s latest flyby (called a perijove) of Jupiter saw it dip close to the giant planet’s northern polar regions.
Juno has done some incredible work at Jupiter that’s allowed scientists to learn a lot more about its complex interior whose origin is difficult to understand.
