Latest details from the Juno mission: All of Juno's science instruments and the spacecraft's JunoCam were operating during the flyby The collected data is now being returned to Earth and raw images from the spacecraft's latest flyby will be posted in coming days Juno's next close flyby of Jupiter will occur on September 1, 2017 The Great Red Spot is a 10,000-mile-wide storm that has been monitored since 1830 Measuring in at 10,159 miles in width Jupiters Great Red Spot is 1.3 times as wide as Earth. In modern times, the Great Red Spot has appeared to be shrinking NASA's Juno mission's early result portrays the largest planet in our solar system as turbulent It has an intriguingly complex interior structure, energetic polar aurora, and huge polar cyclones.
