Watch Jupiter Rotate
The New Horizons spacecraft captured this view of Jupiter in 2007 as it approached and flew by. You can see the planet's extensive atmosphere with its bands and belts of light and dark clouds. Giant rotating storm systems appear as ovals. This movie shows what it would be like to coast by Jupiter and watch it rotate.
