NASA's Juno spacecraft has sent back striking photos of huge storms swirling in Jupiter's northern hemisphere.

The sequence of images was made in 17 minutes, from 12:54 a.m. to 1:11 a.m. EDT on July 16, 2018. It was released on Friday.

At center left in the first image is a white oval that is an anticyclone, which NASA calls N5-AWO. An anticyclone is a "large-scale circulation of winds around a central region of high atmospheric pressure," the National Weather Service says.

Another gigantic anticyclone, known as the Little Red Spot, is visible near the bottom of the second and third images. It is about the size of Earth and shouldn't be confused with the older and much bigger Great Red Spot.

A reddish-orange band prominent in the fourth and fifth images is the North North Temperate Belt.

NASA encourages members of the public to download, enhance, process and share their takes on Juno’s photos. This image was created by Gerald Eichstädt and Seán Doran.

The Juno spacecraft was launched Aug. 5, 2011. It entered Jupiter's orbit on July 4, 2016, and its mission is expected to continue until July 2021.
