EXTRATERRESTRIAL TEMPEST Jupiter’s swirling storms revealed in beautiful colour snap taken by Nasa’s Juno probe

THIS incredible picture captures the violent storms swirling over Jupiter’s south pole.

The snap was taken in late 2016 but has been developed in colour by scientist Gabriel Fiset.

Fiset used data from the Juno spacecraft which has been monitoring the planet since it launched in 2011.

The swirl-patterned cloudscape is made by turbulence in the atmosphere.
Streams of air resemble giant tangled strings – and suggest that taking a flight there would be particularly bumpy.

Jupiter is known for its stormy surface.
Its “great red spot” is believed to have been brewing for 350 years.

A gigantic “cold spot” which is big enough to swallow Earth whole recently cropped up.
Scientists said the dark expanse – which can be found on the planet’s north pole – is 15,000 miles across and 7,500 miles wide.

As NASA published the incredible new snap, Jupiter was making a spectacular appearance on Earth.
An amateur filmmaker captured the moment the planet “paired off” with the moon over the weekend.
The rare sight was a perfect combination of our moon nearing itss fullest and Jupiter making its way toward its highest point in the sky for evening, usually around 11pm.
