Jupiter’s south pole, captured by NASA’s Juno Spacecraft from about 2,175 miles (3,500 kilometers) above the planet’s cloud tops. This image, taken during the 22nd flyby of the solar-powered spacecraft, revealed a new, massive cyclone on the gas giant’s surface. Juno was launched in 2011 and entered Jupiter’s orbit in 2016, where it is expected to stay until 2025.
