木星比我们所知道的更奇怪。美国宇航局的朱诺号宇宙飞船目前已经完成了70多次飞越木星的任务，当时它正在木星的高椭圆轨道上运行。这张照片摄于2017年，从下方看木星，令人惊讶的是，覆盖大部分行星的水平带消失在漩涡和复杂的图案中。在赤道附近可以看到一排椭圆形的白色云。来自“朱诺”号的令人印象深刻的结果表明，木星的天气现象可以延伸到云顶以下的深处，木星的中心有一个意想不到的大而软的核心，木星的磁场随着位置的变化而变化很大。尽管朱诺号计划在2025年之前继续绕木星运行，但在某个时候，这个机器人航天器将被操纵坠入这颗巨大的行星。拼图游戏：今日天文学拼图

Jupiter is stranger than we knew. NASA's Juno spacecraft has now completed over 70 swoops past Jupiter as it moves around its highly elliptical orbit. Pictured from 2017, Jupiter is seen from below where, surprisingly, the horizontal bands that cover most of the planet disappear into swirls and complex patterns. A line of white oval clouds is visible nearer to the equator. Impressive results from Juno show that Jupiter's weather phenomena can extend deep below its cloud tops, that Jupiter's center has a core that is unexpectedly large and soft, and that Jupiter's magnetic field varies greatly with location. Although Juno is scheduled to keep orbiting Jupiter further into 2025, at some time the robotic spacecraft will be maneuvered to plunge into the giant planet.
