New images reveal the heart of Jupiter's storms and the planet's jack-o-lantern glow

From CNN.com:
"(CNN) - Jupiter is known for its massive storms, but trying to peer inside them requires teamwork by the Juno spacecraft, the Hubble Space Telescope and the ground-based Gemini North telescope in Hawaii. Collective observations from this dream team have produced stunning images and revealed what's happening inside Jupiter's giant, continuous storms."

Some pretty good images!

Hi Stephen. Wow, Jupiter doesn't look like this through my telescope. :lol: Well, it took the big guns to capture these storms. Thanks for finding and sharing this interesting link Stephen, and the best of regards.
