Storms ripple through the atmosphere of Jupiter in this 2020 image from Hubble Space Telescope. The Great Red Spot, which is wider than Earth, is below center, with another giant oval storm just below it. Bands of clouds flow in opposite directions, with jet streams blowing at hundreds of miles per hour. The icy moon Europa stands to the left of the planet. Jupiter will appear near the Moon in the early morning hours of July 18 and 19. The solar system's largest planet looks like a brilliant star. [NASA/ESA/STScI]
