South equatorial belt boundary on Jupiter The Juno spacecraft captured this view of turbulent clouds in the region of the jet stream marking the southern boundary of Jupiter's South Equatorial Belt. An eddy seems to be encouraging convection, with numerous clouds bubbling through the main cloud deck. This image was taken during Juno's sixth perijove flyby on May 19, 2017.
