You’ve just crossed over into the Twilight Zone. This image captures the swirling cloud formations in Jupiter’s terminator – the region where day meets night.

This image is one in a series of images taken in an experiment to capture the best results for illuminated parts of Jupiter’s polar region. For JunoCam to collect enough light to reveal features in Jupiter’s dark twilight zone, the much brighter illuminated day-side of the planet becomes overexposed with the higher exposure.

Watching you watching me. See the “face” of Jupiter in this enhanced color JunoCam image.

This citizen scientist-processed image was taken on May 19, 2017. By rotating the image 180 degrees and orienting it from south up, two white oval storms turn into eyeballs, and the “face” of Jupiter is revealed.

Everything’s coming up roses. See a close-up view of a storm with bright cloud tops in this rose-colored view of Jupiter.

A Cup of Jove. Jupiter cloud formations resemble cream swirling in coffee in this new view taken by NASA’s Juno spacecraft.
