The last cloud image on Juno's Jupiter is a staggering product

The largest planet in our solar system is also one of the most beautiful in the world, as revealed by the latest image of the Juno spacecraft.

Since arriving at Jupiter on July 5, 2016, NASA's Juno spacecraft has made 16 short fly-bys of the giant gas perimeter. With each successive perijove, the spacecraft is getting closer and closer to the planet, allowing the spacecraft to take sharper and clearer photos with its high-resolution JunoCam.

The last image, taken on October 29th, when Juno was only 7,000 kilometers (4,400 miles) from the top of Jupiter's cloud, is one of the best yet.

This enhanced color picture shows the Jupiter North Temperate Belt, a prominent reddish orange band at a latitude of about 40 degrees north. A large anticyclonic storm, called a white oval, occupies an important place in the photo, as well as several small white clouds. Dark areas are those where clouds extend deeper into the interior of the planet; Juno's JIRAM experiment, which uses infrared, suggests that these darker regions are warmer, according to NASA.

Juno has captured this photo, but citizen scientists Gerald Eichstädt and Seán Dora are credited for the treatment of the image. The raw photos taken by Juno are accessible to the general public.

Juno has to complete 35 journeys, so the best is coming. The mission will end in July 2021, when the spacecraft will deliberately land on the planet.
