These images were photographed one of the poles of Jupiter and clouds are clearly visible! Scientists have speculated that Jupiter has storm patterns such as typhoons and cyclones that regularly occur within its atmosphere!
NASA has been publishing images sent from the “Juno” probe on the official NASA website. Jupiter is still considered a relatively unknown planet so these published images of the largest planet in our solar system is received with excitement by the public!
Please take a look and view these amazing images posted below.
