A Face in the Clouds of Jupiter from Juno
Jupiter's clouds show alternating light zones and reddish-brown belts, driven by gas rising and falling. The Juno spacecraft captured this detailed view of the planet's atmosphere. These swirling patterns are high and low pressure systems. They can form into large, long-lasting storms.
