False-color mosaic of Jupiter's Great Red Spot and its surrounding area, captured by the Galileo spacecraft. The image reveals storm clouds resembling Earth's cumulonimbus, suggesting abundant water in Jupiter's atmosphere and contributing to its high-speed winds. Blue represents low-altitude clouds, white represents high, thick clouds, and pink represents high, thin clouds. A zoomed-in section highlights the cloud structures.
