The latest images from the mission at Jupiter include views of giant storms and the gas giant world in amazing detail.
A new set of images from the visible light camera on the Juno spacecraft arrived at Earth. The camera has provided amazing views of Jupiter.
Citizen scientists and enthusiasts act as the camera's virtual image team, helping to make suggestions of areas on Jupiter to take pictures and do the image editing work.
Kevin Gill edited the lead image to provide a 3-D-like view of a giant storm. How big are these things? The SETI Institute weighed in.
The detail of storms on Jupiter is jaw-dropping. The scale is unknown, but the Earth is likely to fit in the round white storm and the smaller white puffs are about the size of large thunderstorms. The picture was taken by the Juno cam.

During its time in the air, Juno has made discoveries about Jupiter's interior structure, magnetic field, and magnetosphere, and has found its atmospheric dynamics to be far more complex than previously thought.
