       The cloud tops of Jupiter are pictured in a closeup flyby of the Juno   
      spacecraft. A big white oval cloud is visible in the foreground, while   
       many swirls of many muted colors are visible trailing behind. A dark   
        night sky is in the background. Please see the explanation for more   
                               detailed information.

      Explanation: Big storms are different on Jupiter. On Earth, huge   
      hurricanes and colossal cyclones are centered on regions of low   
      pressure, but on Jupiter, it is the high-pressure, anti-cyclone storms   
      that are the largest. On Earth, large storms can last weeks, but on   
      Jupiter they can last years. On Earth, large storms can be as large as   
      a country, but on Jupiter, large storms can be as large as planet   
      Earth. Both types of storms are known to exhibit lightning. The   
      featured image of Jupiter's clouds was composed from images and data   
      captured by the robotic Juno spacecraft as it swooped close to the   
      massive planet in August 2020.  A swirling white oval is visible   
      nearby, while numerous smaller cloud swirls extend into the distance.   
      On Jupiter, light-colored clouds are usually higher up than dark   
      clouds. Despite their differences, studying storm clouds on distant   
      Jupiter provides insights into storms and other weather patterns on   
      familiar Earth.
