What do you see in Jupiter's hazy atmosphere?
⁣
⁣
⁣
Our @NASAJuno mission captured this look at the planet’s thunderous northern region during the spacecraft’s close approach to the planet on Feb.
17,
2020.

Some notable features in this view are the long,
thin bands that run through the center of the image from top to bottom.
Juno has observed these long streaks since its first close pass by Jupiter in 2016.

Retro.
Modern.
Iconic.
That’s the worm. #TheWormIsBack⁣
⁣
Our beloved symbol of exploration will fly once again,
just in time to mark the return of human spaceflight on American rockets from American soil.
Swipe to see its new debut on @SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket that will take flight later this year when we #LaunchAmerica once again.

The NASA insignia,
or "meatball,"
seen in our profile image,
was quite difficult to reproduce with 1970s technology.
In 1975,
enter the sleek,
simple design you see above!
The world knew it as “the worm.”
For a period of time we were able to thrive with both the worm and the meatball.
However,
in 1992,
the 1970s brand was retired -
except on clothing and other souvenir items -
in favor of the original late 1950s graphic.⁣
