As NASA’s Juno mission completed its 43rd close flyby of Jupiter on July 5, 2022, its JunoCam instrument captured this striking view of vortices — hurricane-like spiral wind patterns — near the planet’s north pole. These powerful storms can be over 30 miles (50 kilometers) in height and hundreds of
A new NASA citizen science project, Jovian Vortex Hunter, seeks your help spotting vortices – spiral wind patterns – and other phenomena in photos of the planet Jupiter. Another NASA citizen science project, called Junocam, seeks help from members of the public processing images from NASA’s Juno Mis

这张JunoCAMM照片显示了木星的两个大型旋转风暴，是在朱诺号于2021年11月29日第38次经过木星时拍摄的。 影像来源：NASA/JPL-Caltech/SwRI/MSSS 图像处理：KEVIN M. GILL CC by 朱诺号在木星任务的木卫三飞掠期间收集的音轨提供了一个戏剧性的旅程。这是任务科学家在美国地球物理联盟秋季会议简报会上分享的亮点之一。 今天在新奥尔良举行的美国地球物理学会秋季会议上，在关于NASA朱诺号木星任务的简报中讨论了来自木卫二飞越的声音、磁场以及木星和地球海洋和大气之间的显著比较。 今天，在新奥尔良举行的美国地球物理联盟秋季会议上，关于NASA朱诺号木星任务的简
During its 36th low pass over Jupiter, NASA’s Juno spacecraft captured this view of striking cloud bands and swirls in the giant planet’s mid-southern latitudes. The dark, circular vortex near the center of the image is a cyclone that spans roughly 250 miles (about 400 kilometers). The color at its
木星的带状外观是由云层形成的“天气层”造成的。这张合成图像分别显示了双子座北方望远镜和美国宇航局哈勃太空望远镜拍摄的木星红外和可见光（从左到右）视图。 影像来源：International Gemini Observatory/NOIRLab/NSF/AURA/NASA/ESA, M.H.

2021年10月11日 Juno Flyby of Ganymede and Jupiter Video Credit: Images: NASA, JPL-Caltech, SWRI, MSSS; Animation: Koji Kuramura, Gerald Eichstädt, Mike Stetson; Music: Vangelis Explanation: What would it be like to fly over the largest moon in the Solar System? In June, the robotic Juno spacecraft flew
On July 4, 2016, our Juno spacecraft arrived at Jupiter on a mission to peer through the gas giant planet’s dense clouds and answer questions about the origins of our solar system. Since its arrival, Juno has provided scientists with a treasure trove of data about the planet’s origins, interior stru
