At close approach, NASA took pictures of powerful storms around Jupiter’s north pole.
During its 43rd approach to the planet, the NASA space agency using the JunoCam camera captured images of vortices near Jupiter’s north pole. NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory reports.
It is known that these powerful storms can reach over 50 kilometers in height and hundreds of kilometers in width.
Knowing how they form is key to understanding Jupiter’s atmosphere and the dynamics and chemistry of the clouds that create the planet’s other atmospheric features.
The NASA laboratory emphasized that they are particularly interested in the different shapes, sizes and colors of the vortices. For example, cyclones that rotate counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the south have completely different colors and shapes.
The Juno spacecraft was about 25,100 km above Jupiter’s cloud tops when the image was taken.

It was previously reported that NASA will launch two more mini-helicopters to Mars to return Martian rocks and soil samples to Earth.
