Earth-size cyclones at Jupiters south pole

 


So far, the Juno spacecraft has shown us a complex and turbulent Jupiter, with polar cyclones the size of Earth and storm systems traveling deep within the planet. Jupiter's magnetic field was also found to be more powerful than scientists estimated (7,766 gauss) about 10 times stronger than Earth's magnetic field.
The Juno Microwave Radiometer (MWR) is capable of detecting microwave thermal radiation from Jupiter's atmosphere, from the upper ammonia clouds to regions several hundred kilometers deep. The data indicated that one of the belts near the equator extends into the interior of the planet. It was also detected that the amount of ammonia is variable, but with a greater presence in deep areas.
