This image shows Jupiter's Great Red Spot and other features that were not visible in images taken earlier, when Cassini was farther from the planet.

NASA captured this image of satellite footprints in Jupiter's aurora are glowing trails left by Jupiter's moons as they orbit the planet and interact with its magnetic field.

This animation depicts Jupiter's planet wrapping cloud structure, commonly referred to as "belts" and "zones," and the jet streams that encompass them. 

This newly released image from the NASA Hubble Space Telescope shows the planet Jupiter in a color composite of ultraviolet wavelengths.

NASA's Juno spacecraft, on June 7, 2021, flew closer to Jupiter's ice-encrusted moon Ganymede than any spacecraft in more than two decades.

NASA’s Juno spacecraft captured this image of Jupiter's southern hemisphere on Feb. 17, 2020, during a close approach to the planet.

This image of Jupiter from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope shows stunning details of the majestic planet in infrared light. In this image, brightness indicates high altitude. 

Jupiter's banded appearance is created by the cloud-forming "weather layer." In this composite image, the image on the left show's Jupiter's thermal energy, while image on the right shows Jupiter's appearance in visible light.

This view of Jupiter's icy moon Europa was captured by JunoCam which took the image at an altitude of 945 miles (1,521 kilometers) above a region of the moon called Annwn Regio.

This stunning image of Jupiter was captured by Nasa's Hubble Space Telescope which shows the closer view of the winter planet.
