Medium-angle view of Jupiter's south polar region, including the subtropics. Particularly noticeable is a string of four bright oval storms at the northernmost pictured area. Multiple other turbulent storm systems are visible.

Narrow angle shot of the Great Red Spot and its surrounding regions on Jupiter. The GRS is a single storm on Jupiter that's bigger than Earth.

Photo of Jupiter mainly featuring one very turbulent storm system tens of thousands of kilometres in length in one of the planet's subtropical areas. A couple cloud bands can be seen underneath the storm system, themselves containing other storms of various shapes.
