Jupiter's Cosmic Bouquet

 Not actual roses, these are in fact cyclones on Jupiter's North Pole. These swirls of striking colours in this extreme false colour are a rendering of an image from NASA'S Juno mission. The huge, persistent cyclones found at Jupiter's North Pole is visible at the center of the image, encircled by smaller cyclones that range in size from 2,500 to 2,900 miles (4,000 to 4,600 kilometers ). Together, this pattern of storms covers an area that would dwarf the Earth.

Scientists Gerald Eichstädt made this composite image using data obtained by the JunoCam instrument during four of the Juno spacecraft's close passes by Jupiter, which took place between Feb. 17, 2020, and July 25, 2020. The greatly exaggerated colour is partially a result of combining many individual images to create this view.
