The space agency on Tuesday [released several photographs](https://www.missionjuno.swri.edu/junocam/processing/) of the interplanetary landmark taken by its [Juno spacecraft](http://time.com/4795034/jupiter-juno-mission-nasa/) as it flew over Jupiter. The images show a blob of swirling reddish hues in the middle of Jupiter’s white clouds. [Kevin Gill](https://www.flickr.com/people/kevinmgill/), a self-described “science data visualization artist,” took NASA’s raw photographs to make the images seen above and below. > [](https://twitter.com/kevinmgill/status/885154097908785153) Scientists say the Great Red Spot is a gigantic storm, twice as wide as Earth, which has been churning on Jupiter for at least 150 years.
