NASA’s Juno space probe has taken some incredible photos of the Red Planet’s super-storms on a recent flyby of the gas giant.
With its host of science instruments, the mission of the Juno spacecraft—launched in 2011—is to “investigate the existence of a solid planetary core, map Jupiter’s intense magnetic field, measure the amount of water and ammonia in the deep atmosphere, and observe the planet’s auroras,” says the U.S. space agency.
This data will provide a huge leap forward into helping scientists understand how giant planets are formed.
It will also help them find out just what role giant planets played in putting the rest of our solar system together.
