As reported by the press service of the NASA aerospace control, a NASA image was taken in December this year during the tenth approach of the probe to Jupiter. The dark area in the far left corner is called the Southern Moderate Belt. Crossing the belt is a phantom slip function of white clouds, the agency said..
At the same time, according to the station, this is the greatest feature of the low latitudes of Jupiter. It's a cyclone, rotating with a clockwise motion,.
At the same time, NASA called what they saw "a tapestry of bright cloud strips and storms".
It is noted that the spacecraft was located at a distance of more than 13 kilometers from the peaks of the clouds of the planet.
The Juno probe was launched from Cape Canaveral in August 2011, but the device entered a stable orbit around Jupiter in only five years. The probe became the second spacecraft that entered the orbit of Jupiter, after Galileo, orbiting the planet from 1995 to 2003.
Recall, as reported URA-Inform, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration is ready in 2069 to launch a probe to the exostar Proxima Centauri. In particular, this will happen in honor of the century of the mission of Apollo 11, when a man first stepped on the surface of the moon.
