What are the closest images ever taken of the planet Jupiter? While many spacecraft have visited the gas giant, only NASA's Juno spacecraft has flown just above its cloud tops. Coming closer than any other spacecraft. Revealing what the largest planet in the solar system looks like up close and personal. So much of the gas giant is still a mystery, but by using the stunning images captured by Juno, we can peel back the layers of this enormous world and take a closer look at its fascinating features like never before. So, what did we see?

@@NelsonClickHave you watched the horror-scifi film Event Horizon? The whole plot takes place in the atmosphere of Neptune, where the spaceship is found floating adrift. This is a great narrative resource because during the whole film you can notice a raging storm of tempestuous winds, thunders and lightnings shaking the ship, which adds to the sheer feeling of terror and helplessness. The ominous presence of Neptune and its terrifying atmosphere is the perfect scenario for such a film. I always remember this cult classic when I read about the gas giants' turbulent atmospheres, it's a good way to imagine how scary it would feel to actually be there.

@gregthegroove like we have an atmosphere. Jupiter's is just massive and represents almost the whole thing. Imagine a super dense core with a super dense atmosphere. Keep it mind it is unsure if that core is solid. So it may very well be a super dense soup of molten stuff.

There’s something deep under the clouds, it’s not just a ball of clouds. As he was saying in this video, about 2,000 miles deep, there is something, possibly an ocean of various chemicals, liquid hydrogen? Deep near the center, gravity compresses hydrogen into a solid, that behaves like a metal. Or so they theorize, no one really knows for sure. Long ago they dropped a probe into the clouds, it didn’t get far before it was crushed by atmospheric pressure.
on jupiter, the storms can be as large as a planet. gave me chills.
Don't you just love the cosmos. Never ending fascinations.
Hard to believe that NASA was originally going to send Juno to Jupiter without a camera. They only included one as "public outreach". Thank goodness they did.

As you can imagine, sending anything to Jupiter costs a large sum of money. So every gram of equipment must really pay off in terms of mission objectives. I mean, a color camera just for our amusement is taking the place of a sensor package that could have added more scientific value to the project.
Planet Jupiter is akin to Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel: so much colour, beauty and wonder at which to marvel. The preciseness and detail of all their respective features is extraordinary.
Funny how these pics are so clear but anytime anyone posts a pic of an alien or bigfoot, its always blurry as hell.

Absolutely, just getting enough footage to let people really bask in the reality of planet sized storms raging harder than anything we've witnessed. I just want to know why they'd put all the effort into trying to figure out atmospheric composition the hard way when they could just launch a mini rocket to dart in and ride the centripetal force just right to swoop by grabbing some of it, using that momentum/angle to break free of it's gravity. IDK, seems pretty reasonable to me, but idk what kind of atmospheric pressure is right at the very surface.

I'd love to know what the core looks like. At those pressures where hydrogen becomes like a metallic soup. It would be a totally alien environment compared to anything we've ever seen or experienced on Earth. I wonder if any extremophile life could possibly exist down there. The radiation would probably make it impossible.

So viel anders war es hier manchmal auch nicht: In Südafrika sind Wanderdünen ausgegraben worden mit einer Körnung von 5 bis 10mm Durchmesser. Das erfordert konstante Windgeschwindigkeiten von mehr als 500 km/h.
"Orbiting 5000 miles above the clouds" That sounds like a lot until you realise it's only half the distance from London to Sydney! Great video BTW.

@5:25: One can see the thunder storms heads popping out inside that white big flat vortex, which is about the size of our Moon. Finally, a small sense of scale and some 3D properties of the clouds over all. --I would love to see a hot air balloon probe be sent there so that we can see the clouds from that perspective.

So Thanks to everyone, anyone who had anything to do with the opening of that "window" on a spaceship so I could see this!

Great closeups but i wish there was a scale so we can see how big things are.

Absolutely mind boggling.
the most baffling thing about it is that compared to Jupiter, storms on earth are basically flat/2dimensional, but on/in jupiter, the storms must also be large in height/depth. no idea if we have any way of knowing how deep the red spot goes or what its total volume happens to be
