Jupiter seen at infrareds and visible light

Various articles published in the journals “Science”, “Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets”, and “Geophysical Research Letters” report various results of the research conducted on planet Jupiter’s atmosphere. Various teams of researchers used data gathered by NASA’s Juno space probe to obtain various results. For the first time, it’s been possible to create a 3D reconstruction of the Jovian atmosphere that offers a better understanding of how the bands that envelop the planet and are known as belts and zones work, of the polar cyclones, and the Great Red Spot.
