Explanation: Are you willing to wait to see the largest and oldest known storm system in the Solar System? In the featured video, Jupiter's Great Red Spot finally makes its appearance 2 minutes and 12 seconds into the 5-minute video. Before it arrives, you may find it pleasing to enjoy the continually changing view of the seemingly serene clouds of Jupiter, possibly with your lights low and sound up. The 41 frames that compose the video were captured in June as the robotic Juno spacecraft was making a close pass over our Solar System's largest planet. The time-lapse sequence actually occurred over four hours. Since arriving at Jupiter in 2016, Juno's numerous discoveries have included unexpectedly deep atmospheric jet streams, the most powerful auroras ever recorded, and water-bearing clouds bunched near Jupiter's equator.

I have posted a previous APOD photo of Jupiter. The NASA post is a video, be sure to go to the link to view it.
Pinging the APOD list.
Never fails. Every time I go to Jupiter, they are having a big red storm.
Aren’t these received in black and white and NASA “enhances” them?
The music is kinda spooky.
Wow. Thank you!
This is an altered version of the "Starry Night" painting. Instead of stars what you are actually seeing are the storms from Jupiter's South Pole
Always incredible to see this.
Its also creepy to see the faces and eyes and twisty animal shapes that appear on the cloud surface as Juno passes over!
Many images such as this one are color images in the visible spectrum. Some true color images may be processed to give better contrast between subtle shade differences.
Many images are in frequency spectrum that is not visible such as infrared, radio frequency and X-ray. Those are intensity images so they would be like black and white except that the differences in brightness can't be seen with the human eye. They are shown in false color since you could not see it otherwise.
Other images are processed to identify areas where color spectrum signatures for different elements are present and then shown in a different colors so the distribution of the different elements can be seen.
I see lots of cheeseburgers, chips and Cokes.
Hypnotic.
Looks like a illustration of Arkham skies in Lovecraft’s world.
That would be an awesome cue-ball!
Those storms I am thinking were caused by big objects hitting Jupiter and starting the swirling turning them into ovals and a red spot.
