    As NASA’s Juno mission completed its 43rd close flyby of Jupiter on July 5, 2022, its JunoCam instrument captured this striking view of vortices – hurricane-like spiral wind patterns – near the planet’s north pole. These powerful storms can be over 30 miles…in height…hundreds of miles across.

      * “Our solar system features eight planets, seen in this artist’s diagram. This representation is intentionally fanciful, as the planets are depicted far closer together than they really are. Similarly, the bodies’ relative sizes are inaccurate. This is done for the purpose of being able to depict the solar system and still represent the bodies with some detail. (Otherwise the Sun would be a mere speck, and the planets —even the majestic Jupiter—would be far too small to be seen.)”: https://d2pn8kiwq2w21t.cloudfront.net/original_images/jpegPIA11800.jpg from https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/images/pia11800-our-solar-system-features-eight-planets
