wodun: They can’t release the movie you’d like to see, because Juno doesn’t provide them the images to do it. When the spacecraft is far from Jupiter (the majority of the time) its camera doesn’t have the resolution to see the details necessary. When it flies in close, it only gets a quick look. Over time, from orbit to orbit (with the close flybys every 53 days or so) they will hopefully be able to compile something, but another restriction is that they don’t see the same part of Jupiter with each flyby.

Watching the clouds move is like staring into moving water or a fire, mesmerizing!

There are some out there but not great. Haven’t been searching regularly for them from this current mission.
