This is an image of atmospheric currents on Jupiter. The image, which has been color-enhanced, details a cloud system in the planet’s northern hemisphere. This image was taken by NASA’s Juno spacecraft on October 24, 2017, from a distance of 11,747 miles from the top of the clouds. What I like most about this image is the grand scale of the image, as each pixel (at full resolution) is approximately 7.75 miles/pixel. Additionally, note the depth of the image.. whiter clouds are at higher altitude, and cast shadows on the layers below.
