The data is astonishing! The first real images of Jupiter: Juno!

No, this isn't a painting by an abstract artist, but a real close-up of the swirling cloud bands that extend up to 3,000 kilometers deep into Jupiter's atmosphere! The fact that we can now marvel at the colossal gas giant in such an overwhelming level of detail is thanks to NASA's Juno spacecraft: After plunging into the realm of the solar system's largest planet on July 5, 2016, Juno has captured countless stunning images, but it has also uncovered a number of enormous surprises that shed a whole new light on Jupiter and its companions! For example, the spacecraft has managed to solve a mystery about Jupiter's polar lights that has puzzled experts for decades, and to prove that the moon Io, despite its extreme volcanic activity, does not have a magma ocean!
