This is a synthesized picture of what Jupiter would look like if you flew over its south pole. No spacecraft has done that, so this picture is stitched together from Cassini photos from the various sides of Jupiter.

There’s an artistically color-enhanced version of the photo at https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/4tfw6t/jupiter_viewed_from_the_bottom/ that’s worth looking at, but I prefer the NASA one.
