NASA's $1 billion Juno probe beamed back its latest photos of Jupiter on Wednesday, and the images are stunning.

The eye-popping new pictures feature the closest-ever views of the Great Red Spot (pictured above), a mega-storm about as wide as two Earths.

While the public is having a field day processing the probe's raw JunoCam data into colorful imagery, scientists are amazed by the unprecedented level of detail.

"I'm counting the times [I've picked] up my jaw in the last couple of days," Glenn Orton, a lead Juno team member and a planetary scientist at NASA JPL, told Business Insider.

Here are a few things Orton and his colleagues have noticed in the images so far.
