This JunoCam image depicts one of the eight circumpolar cyclones that surround a central cyclone at the gas giant's north pole. The data from this view of one of Jupiter's circumpolar cyclones was collected during Juno's 29th perijove (PJ) pass on Sept. 16, 2020, and processed by citizen scientist Gerald Eichstädt.
