What are the closest images ever taken of the planet Jupiter? While many spacecraft have visited the gas giant, only NASA's Juno spacecraft has flown just above its cloud tops. Coming closer than any other spacecraft. Revealing what the largest planet in the solar system looks like up close and personal. So much of the gas giant is still a mystery, but by using the stunning images captured by Juno, we can peel back the layers of this enormous world and take a closer look at its fascinating features like never before. So, what did we see?

I have always found the gas giants absolutely terrifying.

Funny how these pics are so clear but anytime anyone posts a pic of an alien or bigfoot, its always blurry as hell.

on jupiter, the storms can be as large as a planet. gave me chills.

[seasonedbeefs]

Don't you just love the cosmos. Never ending fascinations.

[doltsbane]

Hard to believe that NASA was originally going to send Juno to Jupiter without a camera. They only included one as "public outreach". Thank goodness they did.

[bluethescrub]

Absolutely beautiful... the wake left by some of those storms almost look like cosmic sand dunes. Thanks so much for sharing and for your insight!

Planet Jupiter is akin to Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel: so much colour, beauty and wonder at which to marvel. The preciseness and detail of all their respective features is extraordinary.

It’s amazing how big Jupiter is compared to Earth. And for it to be all gas with no land mass makes it even more surreal! Great video as always!

[dmdcykey]

Superb, very professional work as always, sir. I watch alot of science programs and channels and your overall presentation and formula is honestly some of the best out there, period.

Also, the HD detail of these images is beyond anything I thought we were capable of...yet, it's beyond good, it's surreal. Big props and congratulations to all that designed and built Juno, considering the IMMENSE amount of elements it endured just to get to Jupiter and the unrelenting bombardment it gets every second, Juno is damn impressive.

My brain can fathom steam and smoke, but despite being photographs, they look like paintings because my brain just can’t wrap around the idea of seeing a giant ball of gas in space

[nickdelloso]

SO much better than anything on TV, whether that's free-to-air or cable!

[MetroTitanD]

I love how the cloud swirls aren't to dissimilar to how oil in water looks. Another great video as always.

[TheLastStarfighter]

The colours swirling around Jupiter's atmosphere reminds me of the old sand glasses with mottled sand that creates different patterns or layers of coloured sand.
Fantastic video Rob! Wishing you and your family a safe and happy Christmas 🎄🙂

[paulvincent]

It looks like a painting, it doesn’t look real. It’s magnificent in all its beauty and glory.💥💥💥💥

[josephpacchetti]

This video contains the most amazing and comprehensive information about the Planet Jupiter that I have ever imagined, Thank You Rob and the crew that make this great channel possible. V-Rocks.🌠

[daffyduck]

Wish we had a craft to handle those pressures and winds would be a hell of a video

[Martial-Mat]

"Orbiting 5000 miles above the clouds"
That sounds like a lot until you realise it's only half the distance from London to Sydney!

Great video BTW.

[topherdean]

This is one of the best astronomical videos I've seen, just amazing. Thank you.

[aniskatich]

Jupiter surface is similar to a latte coffee especially the gas present in its atmosphere they are so unique giving the planet a quiet bizarre look

[thefool]

Great video! Loved the images. It made me want to put on my science fiction space suit and travel to the surface. Nicely done.
