When I see amazing pictures such as these, I feel that it's just extraordinary how far we've come as a species in some regards, despite all the dark stuff going on.

For comparison, this is one of the original Juno images:<p><a href="https://www.missionjuno.swri.edu/Vault/VaultOutput?VaultID=6786&t=1485289964" rel="nofollow">https://www.missionjuno.swri.edu/Vault/VaultOutput?VaultID=6...</a>

Shows the importance of a visible light camera, even if not essential to the mission

I wonder how big are those swirls compared to the size of earth

There's a tiny blue dot on the bottom left part inside the planet. Is that one of Jupiter's moons?<p>Checkout the JunoCam page for more images: <a href="https://www.missionjuno.swri.edu/junocam/processing?featured=1" rel="nofollow">https://www.missionjuno.swri.edu/junocam/processing?featured...</a>

Jupiter's axial tilt is only 3 degrees, so it's difficult to get a good photo of the poles regardless of the Jovian season. They will pretty much always be on the terminator (edge of shadow).

This is awesome. Just a reminder - there is no "below" in space, as there's no up or down. :p.
