Nasa has published rare images showing a large eye-shaped storm in Jupiter's atmosphere.According to available information, this "oval-shaped storm is one of
the largest storms observed in recent years, just smaller than the
diameter of Mars.""The
recent images of the storm, NN-LRS-1, were captured on July 10, 2017 by
cameras mounted on the Juno space probe when it was about 11,000
kilometers from the giant planet's clouds. Their
attention in this storm is its strange shape, which resembles the human
eye, whose color is colored in azure, and its center was brown. "
On June 5, 2011, the Juno probe was launched on an Atlas 5 missile. It
reached Jupiter's orbit on July 4, 2016, after a distance of 2.8
billion km, and is planned to orbit the Jupiter 37 times only 5000
kilometers from the giant planet.
Juno's mission
is to collect information about the buyer's atmosphere and magnetic
field and send it to the Earth for scientists to study in this planet.
