Beneath Jupiter
			
		
		Jupiter is stranger than we knew.
NASA's Juno spacecraft 
has now completed its sixth swoop past 
Jupiter 
as it moves around its highly 
elliptical orbit.
Pictured, Jupiter is seen 
from below where, surprisingly, the horizontal 
bands that cover most of the planet disappear into 
swirls and complex patterns. 
A line of 
white oval clouds is visible nearer to the equator. 
Recent results from 
Juno 
show that 
Jupiter's 
weather phenomena can extend deep below its cloud tops, and that 
Jupiter's magnetic field 
varies greatly with location. 
Juno 
is scheduled to orbit Jupiter 37 times with each orbit taking about six weeks
