Get an up-close view of Mission Juno&#8217;s newly discovered &#8220;shallow lighting&#8221; flashes and dive into the violent atmospheric jet of the Nautilus cloud. The smallest white &#8220;pop-up&#8221; clouds on top of the Nautilus are about 100 km across. The ride navigates through Jupiter&#8217;s towering thunderstorms, dodging the spray of ammonia-water rain, and shallow lighting flashes. At these altitudes &#8212; too cold for pure liquid water to exit \u2013 ammonia gas acts like an antifreeze that melts the water ice crystals flung up to these heights by Jupiter&#8217;s powerful storms \u2013 giving Jupiter an unexpected ammonia-water cloud that can electrify the sky. The animation was created by combining an image of high-altitude clouds from the JunoCam imager on NASA&#8217;s Juno spacecraft with a computer-generated animation. <\/p>\n<p>Video credit: NASA\/JPL-Caltech\/SwRI\/MSSS\/Kevin M.
