NASA’s Juno mission has allowed for unparalleled access and understanding of our biggest neighbour, the gas giant Jupiter. Since launching in 2011, the spacecraft has been our best ever source for amazing shots of the interplanetary behemoth, like the ones you see here.

The planet’s gaseous landscape is what gives it such an aqueous-looking surface. It’s an atmosphere ruled by storms beyond our comprehension; cold, gale-force currents of water and ammonia.
