These previous snaps were take by NASA ’s Juno space vehicle during itsseventh skill flybyover Jupiter . The spacecraft is in a wide orbit around the planet , swoop down every 53 day to assemble skill and take figure . The ease of the time it expend further out , to stave off Jupiter ’s intense radiation .
Juno began its in style flyby on Friday , using its JunoCam instrumental role to capture close - up images of the planet . NASA released the pictures asraw imageson its site , allowing members of the public to then submit their ownprocessed viewsof the gasoline giant .
The late image break Jupiter ’s fantastic bands of clouds . you’re able to easily make out storm swirling across the surface and there are also several views of white spots , large violent storm that fad in the upper atm of the planet .
During this flyby , Juno swoop to within 3,500 kilometers ( 2,200 sea mile ) of the cloud tops of the major planet . It is using these passes to study the planet in detail , with scientists hope to reckon out what the core of the planet is like and also how itsweird magnetic fieldwork .
Juno ’s primary mission , during which it will perform 12 orbital cavity of Jupiter , will end in July 2018 . After that , if the spacecraft is still in good wellness , then there ’s a chance the mission could be exsert .
