- NASA's Juno spacecraft has been orbiting the gas giant Jupiter since 2016, and it's taken some really fantastic shots of the massive planet along the way.
- A new image of Jupiter showcased by NASA shows the planet from an angle we don't normally see.
- Visible in the image are both the Great Red Spot — a massive swirling storm that is one of the planet's most iconic features — and a smaller pale storm that is a more recent development.
NASA's Juno spacecraft has been orbiting the planet Jupiter for nearly five years now. During that time, it's revealed more about the gas giant than any spacecraft before it, and scientists have learned an incredible amount thanks to its observations and the data it streams back to Earth. It's also been one of NASA's favorite photographers, capturing images of Jupiter with stunning detail.
Now, NASA has chosen to highlight a recently-snapped image of Jupiter from Juno, and it's a beauty. The image was captured back in December of last year as the spacecraft was speeding away from the planet on its 31st flyby, and it offers us a look at Jupiter from an angle that we don't often get to see.
