Description
"Jovian Abstract 14"
This digitally altered artwork is derived from the NASA/JPL/Caltech image "White Spot Z" released 12 December 2019. Other than the color changes and some enhancement of detail, it is otherwise a still-accurate depiction of a portion of Jupiter's amazing surface. The NASA webpage and commentary about the original image are given below:

"White Spot Z" is one of the long-lived storms in Jupiter's atmosphere. Three JunoCam images from Juno's 21st close pass by Jupiter have been mosaicked together, showing the setting of this oval-shaped storm perched just above the reddish-brown North Equatorial Belt. This mosaic covers planetographic latitude from about 11 degrees to 23 degrees north.
Citizen scientist Björn Jónsson created this enhanced color mosaic using images from the JunoCam camera. The images were taken with a two-minute separation, starting on July 21, 2019 at 8:05 p.m. PDT (11:05 p.m. EDT). The spacecraft was at an altitude of approximately 4,900 to 5,600 miles (7,900 kilometers to 9,000 kilometers) above Jupiter's cloud tops, so features as small as 6 kilometers can be resolved in the images.
JunoCam's raw images are available for the public to peruse and process into image products at
