Cyclone Haven [1]

A giant storm sits at Jupiter's north pole, surrounded by eight other giant cyclones, in this recent view from Juno, a spacecraft in orbit around Jupiter. Each of the storms is at least 2,500 miles (4,000 km) in diameter. An even bigger storm caps the south pole, with five cyclones circling around it. Juno has seen little change in the storms during several months of observations, suggesting that the storm complexes are stable. This view was compiled from several infrared images snapped by Juno.
