The orbiter has been sending some breathtaking snapshots of the king of planets ever since. More recently,?NASA released a bunch of new photographs of Jupiter that show the planet’s breathtaking cloud-covered atmosphere.
The spacecraft made its eighth fly-by of Jupiter on Oct. 24, captured images of the planet, and then sent that data back to NASA on Oct. 31. The orbiter's primary scientific mission is to study Jupiter’s magnetic field, composition and gravity field.?
The orbiter also passed directly over Jupiter’s Great Red Spot, the 16,000km-wide storm on the face of the gas giant making it a first for humanity to explore the storm feature.
