Watch the king of the planets turn on its throne

The gift that keeps on giving, NASA’s Juno spacecraft is re-writing the textbooks about the inner workings of Jupiter, beaming back stunning photos along the way.

NASA’s Juno spacecraft made a high-speed pass less than 3,000 miles over Jupiter’s turbulent clouds Thursday, taking dozens of pictures, measuring radiation and plasma waves, and peering deep inside the planet’s atmosphere, but officials still have not cleared the orbiter’s main engine for a planned maneuver to position the probe for improved science observations.

While it cannot rival the Juno spacecraft’s images of Jupiter, the Hubble Space Telescope still manages to amazes with its global views.
