00:04Things are looking hazy on Jupiter, and scientists aren't yet sure why.
00:08NASA's Juno spacecraft snapped this stunning view of the gas giant's tumultuous cloud tops
00:13from about 15,000 miles away during a close flyby on February 17.
00:19This stunning image shows a turbulent storm in Jupiter's northern regions.
00:23But see those long, thin streaks running from the top to the bottom of the stormy image?
00:27It's not a fancy filter. They're haze particles that drifted into Jupiter's atmosphere.
00:32Though Juno has observed these hazy streaks since its first close pass in 2016,
00:37NASA says scientists don't yet know exactly what they're made of or how they form.
00:42Some think Jupiter's high-altitude hazes form because of two jet streams in its atmosphere
00:47that run on either side of the area where the narrow bands are generally seen.
