Jupiter’s North Pole, as seen in infrared by Juno
The Juno science team has released an animation that shows, in infrared and in three dimensions, the storms of Jupiter’s north pole.
The link has three videos. One shows the gas giant’s surprisingly irregular magnetic field, as found by Juno. The first and third show a low and a high fly-over of the north pole, in infrared. I have embedded both fly-overs below the fold. First watch the high fly-over, which is the first video. This will make the low fly-over more understandable as it flies over the eight smaller storms that encircle the pole’s central vortex.
