Very unique and remarkable. Those relatively small swirls are interesting signs of a complex weather pattern or storm.
But even more complex is a
hexagonal hurricane

Good grief. Just saw this. Yes, unbelievable. That's what nuke power will do for you. Try this one on for size.
JunocamI did the structural analysis on Jumo's 6 fuel tanks and also worked several years (in the late 90's) on the ATLAS V launch vehicle that launched Juno in 2011. I went to my first and only launch on August 5, 2011. Juno arrived at Jupiter on July 4, 2016. It is powered by solar panels...the farthest we have ever sent a solar powered spacecraft.
The scientists using the data it sends back come and present their findings to us from time to time. The photos of Jupiter's poles are the first time human eyes have ever seen them. It has been said that the Juno scientists were jumping up and down like kids at Christmas.
