Juno reveals Earth-sized cyclones swirling at Jupiter's north pole
Original: Recent observations from the Juno spacecraft reveal the complex fluid dynamics governing Jupiter's north pole, character
New observations from NASA's Juno spacecraft show the intricate fluid dynamics at Jupiter's north pole, where a stable ring of circumpolar cyclones has persisted. Each storm system is nearly the size of Earth, and the findings highlight how these massive atmospheric vortices remain organised without merging, deepening scientists' understanding of giant planet weather.
Why now: Fresh Juno findings about remarkably stable, Earth-sized cyclones on Jupiter capture scientific and public fascination with the gas giant's poles.
