Close-up shot of Jupiter's cloudtops, with one bright vortex-type storm being particularly prominent in the view. Loads of turbulent flow is visible all around.
Close-up view of a part of Jupiter, showing a few of its cloud bands and loads of turbulent flow where they meet each other.
Wide view of Jupiter's northernmost latitudes, showing its distinctly coloured polar hood containing countless cyclones, anticyclones and other storms of undefined turbulent shapes.
Photo of Jupiter's cloudtops, focusing on the area where the bluish polar hood meets the beige cloud bands, where loads of turbulence is generated.

Southern view of the planet Jupiter, showing countless storm systems across multiple of its cloud bands and part of the south polar hood area.
Wide view of Jupiter's northern latitudes, including its polar area which has a distinct colouration. Countless turbulent storm systems are present everywhere.
Photo of Jupiter's southern hemisphere, spanning the area between its polar hood and approximately its equator. The entire view is covered in turbulent storm systems of various colours, shapes and sizes.
Photo of the Great Red Spot, a giant storm on Jupiter, and its surrounding areas, which themselves contain other storms.
Close-up view of Jupiter's cloudtops. A few storm systems can be distinguished through their shape and colour.
Wide angle photo of planet Jupiter, covering an area from its subtropical latitudes up to a subpolar region. Multiple belts and zones (dark and light bands) can be distinguished, alternating in colour as one moves from the bottom to the top of the frame. At the top, the bluish hue of a polar area is present with various turbulent storms.

Photo of some of Jupiter's cloud bands, showcasing various turbulent storm systems and one vortex storm.
Close-up view of a massive storm on Jupiter named the Great Red Spot. This storm is many centuries old and larger than the entire Earth.
Wide angle view of Jupiter showing some of the features of its southern hemisphere, including the Temperate Belts, the Polar Hood and a couple anticyclonic storms. Two of its moons (Io and Europa) are visible at the bottom left of the view.

Picture of Jupiter's northern high latitudes, showing the turbulence between its subtropical cloud bands and the polar hood region, as well as some storm systems in the area.
Wide-angle view of Jupiter's high northern latitudes, with part of its north polar region (NPR) visible in shades of cyan near the bottom of the frame. Many turbulent storm systems the size of continents can be seen within the NPR, while various cyclones and other folded filamentary regions (churning, late stage turbulent Jovian cyclones) are visible in the temperate area surrounding the NPR.
