Though we’ve seen each of those things before – and even have better quality images – it’s the first time that humanity has ever seen the view from the orbit of Jupiter itself. The picture shows the Great Red Spot of Jupiter – an atmospheric storm that started centuries ago and is one of the most prominent features of Juno’s new neighbour. “This scene from JunoCam indicates it survived its first pass through Jupiter's extreme radiation environment without any degradation and is ready to take on Jupiter,” said Scott Bolton, principal investigator from the Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio. “We can't wait to see the first view of Jupiter's poles.” The mission to get Juno to its current home was among the most difficult things Nasa has ever done, officials said, and the work that it will do from now could be among the most important.
