False-color image mosaic from the Galileo spacecraft showing a region near Jupiter's Great Red Spot. Blue represents low-altitude clouds, white represents high, thick clouds, and pink represents high, thin clouds. A zoomed-in section highlights cloud formations resembling Earth's cumulonimbus storm clouds, suggesting the presence of abundant water vapor in Jupiter's atmosphere and contributing to its high-speed winds.
