木星上的黑点是什么？没人能确定。在美国国家航空航天局的朱诺号飞船经过木星上空时，这个机器人航天器拍摄到了一个通常是黑云的特征，非正式地称为深渊。周围的云层图案显示深渊位于漩涡的中心。由于木星大气层的深色特征往往比浅色特征更深，深渊可能真的是它看起来的深洞——但没有更多的证据仍然是猜测。深渊被复杂的蜿蜒云层和其他漩涡风暴系统所包围，其中一些被浅色的高空云所覆盖。这张特色图像是在2019年拍摄的，当时朱诺号仅在木星云顶上方约1.5万公里处经过。朱诺号下一次近距离飞掠木星将在三周后。

What's that black spot on Jupiter? No one is sure. During one pass of NASA's Juno over Jupiter, the robotic spacecraft imaged an usually dark cloud feature informally dubbed the Abyss. Surrounding cloud patterns show the Abyss to be at the center of a vortex. Since dark features on Jupiter's atmosphere tend to run deeper than light features, the Abyss may really be the deep hole that it appears -- but without more evidence that remains conjecture. The Abyss is surrounded by a complex of meandering clouds and other swirling storm systems, some of which are topped by light colored, high-altitude clouds. The featured image was captured in 2019 while Juno passed only about 15,000 kilometers above Jupiter's cloud tops. The next close pass of Juno near Jupiter will be in about three weeks.
