You've never seen Jupiter's swirling clouds like this before

The Autor

NASA's Juno spacecraft snapped a picture of high-altitude haze in the northern hemisphere of the solar system's largest gas giant in February, and the agency released it publicly last week.

Up close, the image makes the planet look for all the world like a large precious stone.The photo was shot 25,120 km above the cloudtops. NASA says the streaks are "layers of haze particles that float above the underlying cloud features," though they are not sure what the hazes are made up of or how they are formed.
