A vortex's best friend is Jupiter. That's because Jupiter's massive storms create vortices and turbulence in the gaseous planet's atmosphere, creating dramatic bands that wrap around the planet. These storms reach depths of 2,000 miles (3,200 km), move east-west and can reach speeds of up to 335 mph (539 kph).

The Juno Mission captured this view of Jupiter's northern hemisphere as it travelled over the planet between 11,600 miles (18,600 km) and 5,400 miles (8,600 km) above Jupiter's cloud tops. Juno continues to study Jupiter and its moons, giving scientists insight into worlds beyond our own.
