2020 February 25 Jupiter’s Magnetic Field from Juno Video Credit: NASA, JPL-Caltech, Harvard U., K. Moore et al. Explanation: How similar is Jupiter’s magnetic field to Earth’s? NASA’s robotic Juno spacecraft has found that Jupiter’s magnetic field is surprisingly compl
Thick white clouds are present in this JunoCam image of Jupiter’s equatorial zone. These clouds complicate the interpretation of infrared measurements of water. At microwave frequencies, the same clouds are transparent, allowing Juno’s Microwave Radiometer to measure water deep into Jupi
A multitude of swirling clouds in Jupiter’s dynamic North North Temperate Belt is captured in this image from NASA’s Juno spacecraft. Appearing in the scene are several bright-white “pop-up” clouds as well as an anticyclonic storm, known as a white oval. This color-enhanced image was tak

朱诺号在木星南极右下方的位置看到一个新的，小的气旋。 Credits: NASA/JPL-Caltech/SwRI/ASI/INAF/JIRAM 为了直观感受气旋的大小，NASA在中央气旋上放置了美国地图，新发现的气旋上放置了德克萨斯州的地图。 Credits: NASA/JPL-Caltech/SwRI/ASI/INAF/JIRAM 2019年11月3日，在朱诺号第22次飞越木星南极上空时，NASA科学家在木星南极发现了一个新的气旋，当时朱诺号位于木星云顶上方大约3500公里。 朱诺号木星探测器于2016年7月首次抵达木星，它的红外和可见光相机在木星北极发现了9个巨大气旋，南极发现了6个。这
This view from NASA’s Juno spacecraft captures colorful, intricate patterns in a jet stream region of Jupiter’s northern hemisphere known as “Jet N3.” Jupiter’s cloud tops do not form a simple, flat surface. Data from Juno helped scientists discover that the swirling ba
