It's A Latte Bigger Than Earth. ☕

It's a latte bigger than Earth. ☕

This picture isn’t from your local coffee shop, it’s from our spacecraft Juno as it passed by Jupiter. Jupiter is well known for its Great Red Spot, but it’s also home to anticyclonic storms, known as white ovals. White oval’s can be storms the size of earth and can generate winds up to 335 miles per hour (539 kilometers per hour) and some storms can reach 60 miles (100 kilometers) tall.

Jupiter is strapped with “belts” of white and red, that wrap around the planet. Traveling both east and west, why these belts are distinct is something mystery to scientists, one possibility is that the ammonia gas in the atmosphere travels up and down in alignment with the planets jet streams.

Juno’s prime mission of measuring and studying Jupiter’s atmosphere and magnetic structure was completed in 2021, but it will continue to measure the planet’s unique structure until at least 2025. This image was color enhanced by citizen scientists Gerald Eichstädt and Sean Doran.
