# Huge Storms on Jupiter's Surface got captured by NASA's Juno Mission

The **Juno Jupiter** mission of US space agency **NASA** has finally completed its **43rd** close flyby of the [largest planet](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/100572/what-s-the-largest-planet-in-our-solar-system) of the solar system. Within the process itself it has delivered a phenomenal image of the surface. The shot has been featuring some fascinating vortices or hurricane-like spiral wind patterns which were forming close to Jupiter's north pole. It has been noticed that the Juno mission flew past near to [Jupiter](https://www.mindstick.com/news/1086/jupiter-s-largest-moon-sounds-what-s-new-with-jupiter) on **5th July 2022**. Therefore, it clicked the striking picture with the use of its **JunoCam instrument**.

While the storms look attractive within the image, they would be quite powerful and large with a height of **50 kilometres** and had spread hundred of miles across the whole planet. They even had important information about the Jupiter's atmosphere. Well, doing a research on its formation would provide the scientists an insight into the fluid dynamics and cloud chemistry that would make Jupiter's other atmospheric features.

[Researchers](https://www.mindstick.com/news/1253/researchers-discover-super-moon-encircling-a-jupiter-sized-exoplanet-beyond-our-solar-system) were all set to analyse the various shapes, colours, and sizes of the vortices which were seen on the planet. The distinction in color and shape were also visible within the cyclones that form on Earth. For example, the cyclones that spin counter-clockwise within the northern hemisphere and clockwise within the southern hemisphere and anti-cyclones that would behave in the some other manner differentiate in color and shape.

[NASA](https://www.mindstick.com/news/1073/a-nasa-spacecraft-has-touched-the-sun-for-the-first-time-ever) has launched a [citizen science](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/112969/how-is-citizen-science-empowering-communities-to-monitor-and-protect-local-ecosystems) project [referred to as](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/39930/at-the-turn-of-the-century-widespread-panic-occurred-that-at-midnight-all-computers-would-reset-to-zero-and-life-as-we-knew-it-would-cease-to-exist-what-was-this-doomsday-theory-commonly-referred-to-as) **Jovian Vortex Hunter** that permits people to find vortices within the image and help the [space agency](https://www.mindstick.com/news/1401/european-space-agency-shows-stunning-mars-images-with-mounds-ripples-tracks) to categorize them.

[NASA's Juno spacecraft](https://www.mindstick.com/news/1418/the-juno-spacecraft-from-nasa-has-released-images-of-jupiter-and-its-moon) which had left for its five-year journey on **August 5, 2011**, and arrived at Jupiter on **July 4, 2016**. It almost took five years to reach on the planet and entered the **53-day** polar orbit stretching from on above the planet's cloud tops to the outer reaches of the Jovian magnetosphere.

However, Juno had collected a hoarded of data during its initial 35 orbits and had captured exciting views of Jupiter and its [satellites](https://www.mindstick.com/news/1655/nasa-astra-to-send-another-set-of-satellites-in-orbit-after-thwart-of-antecedent-weather-operation). Now, Juno would be on its extended mission and would still continue to investigate Jupiter through **September 2025** or till the end of its life.
