1st close-up images of Jupiter's Great Red Spot released


Images from NASA's Juno spacecraft have begun to arrive less than two days after it flew just 9,800 kilometres above the cloud tops of Jupiter's raging storm, dubbed the Great Red Spot. The path took the spacecraft from the north pole over the Great Red Spot to the south pole. The Great Red Spot is Jupiter's largest storm, about 16,000 kilometres wide. Jupiter's Great Red Spot is a storm that's been raging for at least 350 years. But the Great Red Spot isn't the only storm on the planet, just the largest, about 16,000 kilometres wide.
