Washington, January 22: In this busy life we have never looked up in the sky and observed that how beautiful nature is. Small tickling stars, white cottony Moon, Bright shiny Sun. sometimes our eye goes on it but there are a lot of things in the sky which our eye can’t see but a digital eye can.

 

Recently we saw a bluetiful picture of our largest planet of the solar system, Jupiter. NASA has released another picture of Jupiter which will glitter our eyes. The following image of Jupiter was captured on December 16 the last year.

This image of Jupiter’s swirling South Polar Region was captured by NASA’s Juno spacecraft as it neared completion of its tenth close flyby of the gas giant planet.

The “empty” space above and below Jupiter in this color-enhanced image can trick the mind, causing the viewer to perceive our solar system’s largest planet as less colossal than it is. In reality, Jupiter is wide enough to fit 11 Earths across its clouded disk.

 

The spacecraft captured this image on Dec. 16, 2017, when the spacecraft was about 64,899 miles (104,446 kilometers) from the tops of the clouds of the planet at a latitude of 83.9 degrees south — almost directly over Jupiter’s South Pole.

The spatial scale in this image is 43.6 miles/pixel (70.2 kilometers/pixel).
