Just in Time for Halloween, NASA’s Juno Mission Spots Eerie “Face” on Jupiter

on Tue Oct 31 2023

On Sept. 7, 2023, during its 54th close flyby of Jupiter, NASA’s Juno mission captured this view of an area in the giant planet’s far northern regions called Jet N7. The image shows turbulent clouds and storms along Jupiter’s terminator, the dividing line between the day and night sides of the planet. The low angle of sunlight highlights the complex topography of features in this region, which scientists have studied to better understand the processes playing out in Jupiter’s atmosphere. via NASA https://ift.tt/DOmLVgq
