What kinds of features would you think of when talking about Jupiter? Jupiter's atmosphere has various atmospheric phenomena, including some unstable bands, vortices, storms, and lightning. NASA launched a spacecraft called "Juno" to go to Jupiter in 2011. The spacecraft has been capturing images of Jupiter's atmosphere at a close distance since 2016 for us to peek into the wonder of Jupiter's atmosphere.

From the images taken by Juno, scientists found that Jupiter's atmospheric dynamics is far more complex than previously thought. You may check the latest close up images of Jupiter from the mission page of Juno. As the spacecraft is still operating normally, NASA announced in January 2021 to extend the mission of Juno to September 2025. Several famous Jovian satellites are included in Juno's new scope of observation to further investigate the entire system of Jupiter.
