NASA's Juno Reveals Stunning Images of Jupiter's Red Spot
The swirling, bright image
– Which is caused by a storm on Jupiter that's bigger than the entire Earth
– Has captivated humanity for centuries. But we have now finally seen it closer than ever before, after Nasa's spacecraft swooped over Jupiter's surface.
The images show the lush red swirl of the spot compared with the flowing blue waves of the planet that surrounds it – which some have compared to a painting by Van Gogh.
The data is still being sent down to Nasa, and so hasn't been finally processed. But it has released those raw files to the public
– allowing scientists, artists and other people to begin working with them and create stunning pictures of the planets.
