People get antsy when a big storm washes out for a few days. Imagine a storm lasting for years and large enough to cover the entire planet.
NASA recently compiled some photos and data
from its Juno spacecraft mission that buzzed by Jupiter in August 2020 to compose an image of what storms on the planet would look like from up close. "A swirling white oval is visible nearby, while numerous smaller cloud swirls extend into the distance," NASA said. "On Jupiter, light-colored clouds are usually higher up than dark clouds."A NASA spacecraft got closer to Jupiter and its moon than ever before and captured some images.
There are some notable differences between the storms on Earth and Jupiter, aside from their composition amid radically different atmospheres.For example, while storms form around low-pressure centers on Earth, it's high pressure storms on Jupiter that rate the largest, NASA says. Jupiter storms can individually be at least the size of Earth if not larger, and can last for years instead of days, making checking that weather app on Jupiter a rather mundane task.
