Summary[edit]

Description
English: NASA’s Juno spacecraft captured infrared images that astronomers combined to create this picture of Jupiter’s north pole, showing a central cyclone and the eight cyclones that encircle it. Data indicate that the storms are enduring features at the pole, with each circumpolar cyclone almost as wide as the distance between Naples, Italy and New York City in the United States. Wind speeds in the storms can reach 220 miles per hour (350 kilometers per hour). The colors in this composite represent radiant heat; the yellow (thinner) clouds are about 9 degrees Fahrenheit (–13° Celsius) and the dark red (thickest) are around –181 degrees Fahrenheit (-83° Celsius).
