Stunning true-color image of Jupiter's swirling cloud tops, captured by the Cassini spacecraft during its 2000 flyby. The image showcases the gas giant's turbulent atmosphere, with features as small as 60 kilometers visible. Jupiter's composition is primarily hydrogen, with ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, and water in its clouds. This detailed view reveals the immense scale of Jupiter, over 11 times the diameter of Earth, and its powerful storms.
