It’s the great pumpkin! ;)
This image of the sunlit part of Jupiter and its swirling atmosphere was created by a citizen scientist (Alex Mai) using data from Juno's JunoCam instrument. JunoCam's raw images are available at https://www.missionjuno.swri.edu/junocam for the public to peruse and process into image products.
