3-D View Of Jupiter's Clouds
Jupiter, the Solar System's largest gas giant, is always cloudy. This 3D visualization presents a simplified model view from between Jovian cloud decks. It is based on imaging and spectral data recorded by the Galileo spacecraft. The separation between cloud layers and height variations have been exaggerated, with bluish clouds indicating high and thin layers, and reddish clouds indicating lower, thicker layers.
