Enhanced color view of planet Jupiter's south pole showing oval storms.

---

This enhanced color view of Jupiter's south pole was created using data from the JunoCam instrument on NASA's Juno spacecraft. Oval storms dot the cloudscape. Approaching the pole, the organized turbulence of Jupiter's belts and zones transitions into clusters of unorganized filamentary structures, streams of air that resemble giant tangled strings. This image was taken on December 11, 2016, from an altitude of about 32,400 miles above the planet's beautiful cloud tops.
