Jupiter, the fifth planet from the sun and the largest in the solar system
Jupiter, the fifth planet from the sun and the largest in the solar system. The planet has a rocky core but is mostly composed of liquid and gaseous hydrogen and helium. The patterns on the surface are caused by turbulence in the upper atmosphere. The Great Red Spot, at lower right, is an anticyclonic storm that has lasted for at least 340 years. This image was taken by the Hubble Space Telescope (HST)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the awe-inspiring beauty of Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system. With its striking spherical shape and mesmerizing patterns on the surface, this giant gas giant never fails to leave us in awe. Jupiter's composition is predominantly made up of liquid and gaseous hydrogen and helium, enveloping a rocky core at its center. The turbulent upper atmosphere gives rise to intricate patterns that dance across its surface, creating a breathtaking spectacle for astronomers and space enthusiasts alike. One prominent feature captured in this image is the Great Red Spot, an enduring anticyclonic storm that has defied time for over three centuries. This colossal tempest dominates the lower right portion of Jupiter's globe, serving as a testament to nature's incredible power and resilience. Thanks to the remarkable capabilities of the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), we are able to witness such cosmic wonders from afar. Its lens captures every intricate detail with precision, allowing us to delve deeper into our understanding of this magnificent planet. As we gaze upon this photograph taken by Science Photo Library, we are reminded once again of how small we are in comparison to the vastness of our universe. It serves as a humbling reminder that there is so much more out there waiting to be explored and discovered within our celestial neighborhood - an invitation for humanity to continue unraveling the mysteries beyond Earth's boundaries.
