5 Things Scientists Learned About Jupiter From The Juno Spacecraft

1.

Jupiter's weather systems are even more intense than we thought. Some of the smaller cyclones seen were over 600 km in diameter.
2.

The larger storms measured over 1400 km wide.
3.

Jupiter probably has an "equatorial plume," similar to Earth's Hadley Cell system, but it goes all the way around the equator and is driven by ammonia.
4.

Jupiter's magnetic field is twice as strong as expected, about ten times that of earth.
5.
