NASA's Juno Navigators Enable Jupiter Cyclone Discovery
A new, smaller cyclone can be seen at the lower right of this infrared image of Jupiter's south pole taken on Nov. 4, 2019, during the 23rd science pass of the planet by NASA's Juno spacecraft. The image was captured by Juno's Jovian Infrared Auroral Mapper (JIRAM) instrument, which instrument measures heat radiated from the planet at an infrared wavelength of around 5 microns.
To give some sense of the immense scale of cyclones arranged in a hexagonal pattern at Jupiter's south pole, an outline of the continental United States is superimposed over the central cyclone and an outline of Texas is superimposed over the newest cyclone. The hexagonal arrangement of the cyclones is large enough to dwarf the Earth.
