Jan 9, 2018 5:11 PM UTC NASA has shared [brand new photos of Jupiter](https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/planets/jupiter/galleries) taken by the Juno spacecraft, showing the gas giant’s blue-tinged skies. The [Juno spacecraft](http://time.com/4392733/jupiter-juno-spacecraft-orbit-watch-live/) takes batches of photos about every 53 days as it orbits Jupiter. NASA researchers uploaded the [raw images](https://www.missionjuno.swri.edu/junocam/processing?source=junocam) online last month, prompting several people to process the photos into colorful views of Jupiter, including self-described citizen scientists Gerald Eichstädt and Seán Doran. Eichstädt and Doran’s enhanced images from Juno’s [JunoCam](https://www.missionjuno.swri.edu/junocam/processing) show a beautiful planet of luminous colors, ranging from deep blues and purples to browns and reds — though people should not be fooled by how inviting the planet seems. “As pretty as a planet can get, but get too close and Jupiter will END YOU,” Doran tweeted. > [](https://twitter.com/%5FTheSeaning/status/944015354514329601) See the stunning images of Jupiter below.
