Jupiter 7th Pearl
This image, taken by the JunoCam imager on NASA's Juno spacecraft, highlights the seventh of eight features forming a 'string of pearls' on Jupiter -- massive counterclockwise rotating storms that appear as white ovals in the gas giant's southern hemisphere. Since 1986, these white ovals have varied in number from six to nine. There are currently eight white ovals visible. Since 1986, these white ovals have varied in number from six to nine. There are currently eight white ovals visible. The image was taken on Dec. 11, 2016, at 9:27 a.m. PST (12:27 EST) as the Juno spacecraft performed its third close flyby of the planet.
