Jupiter’s North Pole – A Maelstrom of Cyclones in a Celestial Swirl

These extraterrestrial tornadoes pack a formidable punch, with one spanning the distance between Naples and New York City. Their spiraling winds can reach a staggering 220 miles per hour, and the temperature gradient is equally extreme, ranging from a frigid 9 degrees to a scorching 181 degrees Fahrenheit.
