Image of Jupiter's southern hemisphere, centred near its south pole. A few cloud bands are visible surrounding the polar hood, with multiple turbulent storm systems spread around the area.

Picture of Jupiter taken between its subtropics and its polar hood, an area where the overall colour of the clouds shifts drastically to a blue hue. Countless turbulent storm systems are spread throughout the entire view.

Narrow angle shot of the Great Red Spot and its surrounding regions on Jupiter. The GRS is a single storm on Jupiter that's bigger than Earth.

Cropped view of a rotating storm within Jupiter's north polar region, upwards of 80 degrees north. The cyan hues of Jupiter's polar regions dominates the view, which also shows very intricate detail within the storm such as turbulent filaments around its edge, subvortices, and distinct clouds within its centre.

Wide-angle view of Jupiter's high northern latitudes, with part of its north polar region (NPR) visible in shades of cyan near the bottom of the frame. Many turbulent storm systems the size of continents can be seen within the NPR, while various cyclones and other folded filamentary regions (churning, late stage turbulent Jovian cyclones) are visible in the temperate area surrounding the NPR.
