These kinds of images never fail to amaze me. I know there some editing going on to make them more visually accessible/impressive, but wow. Images are only going to get better, too.
It will be fascinating to see how the long running image of Jupiter, striated with a series of bands of distinct colour with a clear big "dot", will get replaced with more updated ones like this, chaotic, swirly, almost painterly in the ways the colours blend.
Beyond the appearance what always gets me is the scale. You see these beautiful swirls and then realize you could fit a planet in them. It’s mind boggling.
