Jupiter's Great Red Spot looks menacing in NASA's closest-ever photos of the raging storm

An intrepid NASA probe orbiting Jupiter has beamed home humanity's closest-ever views of one of the most recognizable features in the solar system: the Great Red Spot. 

The 10,000 mile-wide storm that has been raging for hundreds of years got its closeup when the Juno spacecraft flew just 5,600 miles above it on July 10.

Juno's photos and other data — which will help scientists learn more about Jupiter's inner workings — are now trickling back to Earth.
