While we've all become familiar with the Great Red Spot on the side of the Jupiter, the planet's North Pole is stormy, blue, and utterly fascinating, although we never got to see it until the Juno mission flew over it and began to sent back images in 2016.
The picture above is titled Jupiter North Highly Enhanced. It took an entire team of engineers, photographers, and artists to render this new artwork of one of Jupiter's gigantic atmospheric storms from data sent back by the Juno mission. This is an example of collaborative work found at Junocam, where the missions's images are uploaded, processed, discussed, promoted, and displayed by volunteer amateur astronomers. Check out another picture of Jupiter's blue northern hemisphere processed from images at Junocam.

And for good measure, see an image of Jupiter's South Pole, which is also blue and stormy. You'll find many more images of Jupiter in the Junocam gallery. -via Strange Company
