NASA releases new alien-looking image of Jupiter's south pole

Over the years, NASA's Juno spacecraft has delivered hundreds of amazing images of Jupiter. With each new high-definition image, the idea of what we think Jupiter looks like is changed.

Most recently, NASA's photo of the gas giant's southern pole is one such example. To a casual observer, the enhanced-color image might not even look like Jupiter, but instead a strange alien planet straight out of Hollywood.

Snapped63,400 miles above the gas giant in early February, the image is one of the first photographs taken in Juno's last year.

By February of next year, Juno is expected to "deorbit into Jupiter," or crash land into the storm-filled planet in order to end its 7-year mission.

Until then, we can except more amazing images.
