Jet streams produce an exquisite pattern in Jupiter’s northern mid-latitude region in this image captured by JunoCam. NASA’s Juno has been in orbit around the Solar System’s largest planet since 2016. Travelling at around 200,000km per hour and as close as 5,000km above the cloud tops, it is due to deorbit into the planet’s interior in July next year.
