Jupiter is astonishingly beautiful. Its been ~12.5 years since Juno launched, and with every dive below Jupiter's magnetosphere, its been taking close-up images of jovian storms and clouds. So many breathtaking photos, its hard to pick just a few! Honestly hard to believe these are real

dozens of deep blue swirling cyclones can be seen in the atmosphere of jupiter in this image. To the far left, the clouds are orange colored, and they transition firs to white then to a deep blue on the right. White clouds swirl like milk throughout the inky blue storms. https://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA21972
A circle of motted white clouds forms a storm that is the focal point of this image in the top left. All around it, but most strikingly below and to the right, are swirling bands of purple, blue, white, and orange clouds. Tiny specs of more well-defined white clouds can be seen dotted around the image, a layer above the other clouds. https://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA22692

@andrealuck superb treatment of Io Feb 3 image

@NASASolarSystem
🌋 On Feb. 3, the #JunoMission captured two volcanic plumes rising above Jupiter's moon Io – either two vents from one giant volcano, or two volcanoes near each other. The team will be analyzing this against additional data from Juno and other missions to get a better understanding. See the latest at http://missionjuno.swri.edu

After swooping by Jupiter's tortured moon on Feb. 3, NASA's Juno spacecraft beamed back some of the closest-ever images of this unique world.

Since everyone else has been having a go, here's my New Year's Eve attempt at a colour image of Jupiter's volcanic moon, Io.

From the data taken by NASA's Juno mission during its 30 December 2023 flyby.

Am quite pleased with how it came out, though I'm a long way from competing with the true planetary imaging masters 🙂👍

Will upload to Flickr later on.

Happy New Year 🍾🥂
