Jupiter's Bands of Color

As the orbit of NASA's Juno spacecraft evolves, the spacecraft's closest approach point to Jupiter is at a higher latitude with every pass. Near that closest approach point, the spacecraft's JunoCam can capture only a small fraction of Jupiter in a single image. From this perspective, the planet's belts and zones appear as thin strips of color on the horizon while one large circular storm dominates the image. A small orange storm is visible on the far left.
