These new pictures of Jupiter are AMAZING! The intricacy of the storm vortices is mesmerizing.

1. This is great. Wish to be a resident on this heavenly body – in another life of course. ..

2. Beautiful

3. I want to thank you. As a result of Ooo-ing! and Ahh!-ing over your Jupiter post (Great by the way), I fell into the Space Academy for a couple of hours. Thank You.

4. The rotation is same .

5. The storms almost looks like a handmade design……incredible photograph of this fenominal sight………later……….

6. Amazing

7. Are these pix real because they look very CGI heavy to me ?

8. BisiLIFE Yep, they’re real.

9. Chris Dolan the colour scheme as well?

10. BisiLIFE Ahh, excellent question. The colors are likely tweaked and enhanced. I don’t know for sure with these particular pictures, but spacecraft often use color filters that aren’t the usual R, G, B of consumer cameras but instead enhance certain chemical signatures. It’s also likely that the contrast has been exaggerated to demonstrate the turbulence.

11. Chris Dolan why not just show both images? The raw image and the enhanced one?

12. BisiLIFE Great idea. I wish they would do exactly that. However, there are probably anywhere between 3 and 20 raw images that are combined to make the enhanced one.

13. Chris Dolan That’s no problem – in a world of multiple devices etc I think the public that are interested in astronomy/cosmology can handle the 20 different raw images

    At present it sounds as if the scientists are designing an image that suits their opinions. It reminds me of those books from the 80s that had a skull of an extinct animal and was therefore able to say what the phenotype is?

14. Awesome

15. BisiLIFE

    Maybe trying to stuff a square peg into a round hole type thing…..lol

16. Awesome

17. Nope NASA ALWAYS gives you computer generated images by their own ADMISSION!! There ARE NO REAL pictures of earth either!

18. ALL FAKES!

19. Harold McLemore III

    Hard to believe!

20. DA L do your research….google it!

21. DA L What do you make of the Tesla car and Elon Musk?

22. Well being a totally different colour and what chemicals can be noticeble from it

23. Thanks for your efforts
