说明: 有些木星风暴极其複杂。上面这个涡旋状风暴系统，是在上个月由美国航太总署，目前正在绕行太阳系最大的行星(木星)的朱诺号太空船所记录。这幅主题影像的宽度大约是30,000公里，因此这个风暴系统的跨度和地球相当。这个扰动逆时钟旋转，而且其云型带有咸认主要是由氨冰所构成的淡色上升气流。这些淡色云除了高度最大之外，甚至还在右方投射出清楚可辨的影子。在接下来的数年之中，朱诺号将持续绕行和探索木星并回传数据，以协助人类深入了解木星的大气水汽含量，以及在这颗行星有趣的云层之下，是否有个固态的表面。

Explanation: Some storms on Jupiter are quite complex.The swirling storm was captured late last month by the NASA's robotic Juno spacecraft currently orbiting the Solar System's largest planet. The featured image spans about 30,000 kilometers, making this storm system just about as wide as planet Earth. The disturbance rotates counter-clockwise and shows a cloud pattern that includes light-colored updrafts thought to be composed predominantly of ammonia ice. These light clouds are the highest up and even cast discernable shadows toward the right. Juno will continue to orbit and probe Jupiter over the next few years as it tries to return data that help us to better understand Jupiter's atmospheric water abundance and if the planet has a solid surface underneath these fascinating clouds.
