      Explanation: Here comes Jupiter! NASA's robotic spacecraft Juno is   
      continuing on its highly-elongated orbits around our Solar System's   
      largest planet. The featured video is from perijove 11 in early 2018,   
      the eleventh time Juno has passed near Jupiter since it arrived in   
      mid-2016. This time-lapse, color-enhanced movie covers about four hours   
      and morphs between 36 JunoCam images. The video begins with Jupiter   
      rising as Juno approaches from the north. As Juno reaches its closest   
      view -- from about 3,500 kilometers over Jupiter's cloud tops -- the   
      spacecraft captures the great planet in tremendous detail. Juno passes   
      light zones and dark belt of clouds that circle the planet, as well as   
      numerous swirling circular storms, many of which are larger than   
      hurricanes on Earth. After the perijove, Jupiter recedes into the   
      distance, then displaying the unusual clouds that appear over Jupiter's   
      south. To get desired science data, Juno swoops so close to Jupiter   
      that its instruments are exposed to very high levels of radiation.
