       Swirling clouds on the planet Jupiter are pictured, mostly in white,   
       tan, and light blue. A dark spot appears in the center surrounded by   
        swirling white and blue clouds. Please see the explanation for more   
                               detailed information.

      Explanation: What's that black spot on Jupiter? No one is sure. During   
      one pass of NASA's Juno over Jupiter, the robotic spacecraft imaged an   
      usually dark cloud feature informally dubbed the Abyss. Surrounding   
      cloud patterns show the Abyss to be at the center of a vortex. Since   
      dark features on Jupiter's atmosphere tend to run deeper than light   
      features, the Abyss may really be the deep hole that it appears -- but   
      without more evidence that remains conjecture. The Abyss is surrounded   
      by a complex of meandering clouds and other swirling storm systems,   
      some of which are topped by light colored, high-altitude clouds. The   
      featured image was captured in 2019 while Juno passed only about 15,000   
      kilometers above Jupiter's cloud tops. The next close pass of Juno near   
      Jupiter will be in about three weeks.
