A Flight over Jupiter Near the Great Red Spot
This video sequence captures a flight over Jupiter, showcasing its dynamic cloud formations. The Great Red Spot, the largest and oldest known storm system in our solar system, eventually appears. These 41 frames were captured in June by the robotic Juno spacecraft during a close flyby. The continually changing views reveal the complex beauty of Jupiter's atmosphere.
