These amazing images of swirling clouds in the atmosphere of Jupiter are captured by JunoCam installed in NASA’s Juno Spacecraft. These images are developed by two citizen scientists named Gerald Eichstädt and Seán Doran. They edited the color and contrast to improve the image quality.

If you gaze at the picture, you feel that it is an artist’s imagination. This image of Jupiter looks like an abstract art which includes multi-layered clouds that help to create these complex patterns. You can see a raw image, collected by Juno Spacecraft, and an edited image to compare between them.

However, it is very difficult to say how Jupiter looks like as no one has gone so close to it except spacecraft. The distance between Jupiter and Earth is approximately 365 million miles and till now no human has traveled to Jupiter to see it with his or her naked eye.
