The approach of Voyager 1 during a period of over 60 Jupiter days. Notice the difference in speed and direction of the various zones of the atmosphere.
The interaction of the atmospheric clouds and storms shows how dynamic the Jovian atmosphere is.

Amazing accomplishment! …46 years ago!!
Voyager 1 pulled up to Jupiter in 79 like it was on a cosmic road trip no GPS, just vibes.
I recall being super excited by the news articles.Â
One of the biggest deals that the National Geographic published.
Epic resolution for the time period.
I can watch this all day long without additional braindamage
