A vibrant infrared image of Jupiter. The planet is characterized by thick, horizontal blue and orange bands. Two prominent, glowing white oval storms-the Great Red Spot and a smaller companion-are positioned in the lower hemisphere. The poles and the edges of the planet glow with a saturated red-orange hue, highlighting the heat and atmospheric depth of the gas giant.
