NASA showed a new snapshot of Jupiter's atmosphere

NASA has released a new snapshot of Jupiter's atmosphere, carried out by Juno's interplanetary station at the planet's approach. Photos have been published on the website of the space agency.

In the photo in detail, you can see the atmosphere of Jupiter. In particular, the upper ammonia clouds, which have the form of bands parallel to the equator, are visible.

Dark bands are streams of water downstream, and light are warm climbs. The agency warned that the colors were slightly corrected to achieve greater contrast.

To take a picture, Juno station flew 6200 kilometers above Jupiter's clouds.

Note that the Juno interplanetary automatic station was launched in Jupiter in August 2011 In July 2016, the satellite went into orbit around the gas giant and launched a scientific program whose objective was to study the atmosphere, the internal structure and the magnetic fields of the gaseous giant

The probe records the changes in the gravitational field of the planet. The measurements indicate that in Jupiter 's atmosphere, at a depth of 3,000 kilometers, there is a movement of large masses of matter. This allows scientists to draw conclusions about the structure and dynamics of the planet's atmosphere. Astronomers have been observing clouds in the upper atmosphere of Jupiter for several centuries, but they still discuss the depth of the atmosphere of Jupiter
