NASA has always been famous for its breathtaking glimpses of cosmic space. Recently, this agency released an image that immediately caught the attention of many space fans: a fascinating view of the storms raging on Jupiter.

Jupiter’s restless atmosphere

Nasa posted a photo taken by the Juno Mission on social media, capturing violent storms swirling around Jupiter, the Fifth planet from the sun. Unlike Earth, these storms can last for long periods, even years, decades, or centuries. They can create destructive winds at speeds exceeding 400 mph (643 kph).


Juno Mission encounter

The spacecraft Juno was orbiting around Jupiter at a distance of about 8,000 miles (13,000 km) across its clouds to come up with this stunning picture of storms within Jupiter's familiar banded jet streams. 

These streams comprise ammonia and water that intricately weave through Jupiter’s atmosphere, consisting mainly of hydrogen and helium, forming a dynamic tapestry of atmospheric phenomena.
