This picture, taken high above Jupiter's subtropics, displays two distinct sections of different colours, each containing countless turbulent clouds and storms.

Wide view of Jupiter's southern hemisphere, from near its pole to near the equator. A string of four bright white oval storms is prominent in the tropics, close to the equator.

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.
