These new images of Jupiter are completely surreal.

 

Two weeks ago, scientists received a new set of images of the gas giant from the Juno satellite. Juno's amazing camera captured some undeniably unique phenomena. At the time the image was taken, the satellite was only 104,600 kilometers from the top of Jupiter's cloud tops.

The storms there look like an oil painting. They even appear three-dimensional if you look closely.

Deadlier clouds than anything on Earth. Brilliant work, Juno!

How can you not love space after seeing this? It's terrifying, wonderful and magical all at once.

Many images show an orange patch on the planet's surface. This is a dust storm that has been building for about 150 years and will continue for another five to ten decades, due to the fact that Jupiter has virtually no solid ground. Perhaps the title "Gas Giant" has nothing to do with interplanetary gas jets after all.

Nothing special. Just an ordinary, old-fashioned solar eclipse on a different planet. Just kidding! This picture is chilling.

Here is the legendary Red Spot and other less legendary gas storms in the Southern Hemisphere.

They say that if you stare at the Great Red Spot long enough, it will stare back at you. But if you ask me, it's definitely worth losing your mind over! Also, that oval vortex, OVAL BA, that flies directly beneath the Great Red Spot, is the one mentioned above.

Juno also captured another massive storm gaining momentum – Oval BA. This death vortex was created by three smaller storms that coalesced into a single, catastrophic anomaly some 2,000 years ago. While

typical planets have icy poles, Jupiter has even more swirling gas.

Jupiter's south pole has no snow, ice, or land for that matter. It's just a never-ending nightmare.
