Washington, December 1: In this busy life we have never looked up in the sky and observed that how beautiful the nature is. Small tickling stars, white cottony Moon, Bright shiny Sun. sometimes our eye goes on it but there are lot of things in sky which our eye can’t see but a digital eye can. Likewise NASA has released a very ‘Bluetiful’ picture of our biggest planet Jupiter.

This mind-blowing picture was captured by Juno spacecraft. The spacecraft was only 11,747 miles (18,906 kilometers) from the tops of Jupiter’s clouds — that’s roughly as far as the distance between New York City and Perth, Australia. The color-enhanced image, which captures a cloud system in Jupiter’s northern hemisphere, was taken on Oct. 24, 2017 at 10:24 a.m. PDT (1:24 p.m. EDT) when Juno was at a latitude of 57.57 degrees (nearly three-fifths of the way from Jupiter’s equator to its north pole) and performing its ninth close flyby of the gas giant planet.

 

The Juno-Jupiter-Sun angle when the spacecraft captured this image, the higher-altitude clouds can be seen casting shadows on their surroundings. The behavior is most easily observable in the whitest regions in the image, but also in a few isolated spots in both the bottom and right areas of the image.
