In addition to real photos, NASA has also commissioned works of art based on some of Juno’s photos, including this fractal art.

The organization explains, “Artist Mik Petter created this unique, digital artwork using data from the JunoCam imager on NASA’s Juno spacecraft. The art form, known as fractals, uses mathematical formulas to create art with an infinite variety of form, detail, color and light. The tumultuous atmospheric zones in and around the Great Red Spot are highlighted by the author’s use of colorful fractals.”
