Jupiter - Like you've never seen it before! (Part two)
NASA’s Juno spacecraft was racing away from Jupiter following its seventh close pass of the planet when JunoCam snapped this image on May 19, 2017, from about 29,100 miles (46,900 kilometers) above the cloud tops. The spacecraft was over 65.9 degrees south latitude, with a lovely view of the south polar region of the planet.
You really need to head over to Nasa.gov to see the latest hi-res images from the Juno spacecraft!!
