Date: 2024-11-06

Junocam is attached to NASA's Juno probe in orbit around Jupiter, and has vastly outperformed its specification, sending home unexpectedly clear images of its moons as well as the swirling gas giant itself. The latest images, presented with enhanced color, show an incredible profusion of marbled detail. The planet looks like an immense ball of boiling clouds.
