MIAMI – Jupiter's mystifying Giant Red Spot has never looked so massive.

NASA released stunning up-close images Tuesday of the storm that swirls non-stop around the largest planet in our solar system.

The pictures were taken by the Juno spacecraft, which captured the images as it flew 2,200 miles above the Giant Red Spot, the closest any human-built object has some to the storm, according to the Washington Post.

The 10,000-mile-wide Giant Red Spot, which has been spinning for possibly 350 years, is twice as large as Earth.

NASA is allowing anyone to download the raw data images to create their own spectacular photos.
