NASA has released images of the Jupiter megastorm from data sent to it by the Juno probe. The biggest planet of the solar system Jupiter appears as a deep red orb surrounded by layers of pale yellow, orange and white. In one of the pictures, it has The Great Red Spot which is a giant, spinning storm in Jupiter’s atmosphere. The size of the storm is more than twice the size of Earth.
