NASA’s Juno mission captured a strange frowning face on Jupiter during its 54th close flyby on September 7th. This oddity was spotted in the gas giant’s far northern regions, called Jet N7, where turbulent clouds and storms along Jupiter’s terminator reside.
Jupiter’s terminator is basically the dividing line between the day and night sides of the planet. Scientists study the low angle of sunlight highlights the complex topography of features in this region to better understand the processes occurring in Jupiter’s atmosphere.

Citizen scientist Vladimir Tarasov made this image using raw data from the JunoCam instrument. At the time the raw image was taken, the Juno spacecraft was about 4,800 miles (about 7,700 kilometers) above Jupiter’s cloud tops, at a latitude of about 69 degrees north,” said NASA.
