NASA’s Juno spacecraft launched in 2011. It’s studying Jupiter. This is one of many new images it sent back.

I’m blown away at how stunning it is.

This is a really large version of it. Open it up in a new tab or save it to your photos or whatever, so you can zoom in and see it in detail. Just take a break from the world’s sorrow to enjoy this delight.

Can you send a link to this image?
@funtoomen @markwyner seconded. I cannot find the original in the gallery.
@szakib @funtoomen @markwyner Thirded, the image on mastodon isn't that big and I'd love to zoom into some of that detail, but I can't find it in the gallery.

Awesome. Thanks for digging that up, McNeely.

I also couldn’t find the original image in the mission galleries. I originally saw it on the NASA Instagram.

I did post a large version, but it’s possible some Mastodon clients reduce the size.
