Amazing images. The 'surface' of the planet looks like glass!

Wonderful images, amazing 'marbling' effect.

Stunning pictures - thanks for posting, Stu

Big Jove remains an Enigma, and that giant perpetual storm is indeed a puzzler.
The process of unravelling what generates such violent energy is underway, and
the Juno mission is probably the precursor to solving this strange phenomena.
Superb Imagery, and hopefully more to come.
A great Link Stu.

Nice find Stu. Hopefully they've got some good science data from the other instruments too. It'll be nice to know what makes GRS tick.

Great images.

Fancy having a go at working with the raw images?

It is an amazing feature.

I will try to equal NASA by adding  ten  2X Powermates  on the end of my ST80's optical train    ,  and an Iphone.    Wish me luck.

Probably churlish to always wish for a CLOSER view! lol
But I do wonder if these are "towering thunder clouds"
or someone stirring a bowl of Campbell's Condensed?

Actually... Below the SPOT one gets a feeling of more
familiar earth-like (white) storm clouds. Now wondering 
what the final close-up of Cassini-Saturn will be like...

Aren't they looking below the surface in other frequencies? That constitutes a fairly close look I reckon!

There's a much closer shot from the same visit on the Peadia of Wiki, click for ginormous full size:
