On Twitter, NASA said Juno's latest flight to Jupiter has been completed. All scientific equipment as well as cameras are working to collect data, and the first images from this approach are expected to be released in the next few days.

The Juno was about 9,000 kilometers above the red-coil clouds of the Great Red Spot at 1:55 GMT on July 11 (8:55 am on July 12, Hanoi time). Many explorers have taken Jupiter photos, but Juno will be the ship to capture the largest resolution photos.

NASA experts say this is the first opportunity to truly observe near the giant storm that is believed to have existed for more than 350 years.

Super Red Flight Great Red Spot brought Juno closer to Jupiter since it began flying into the orbit of the planet in July 2016 after 5 years of traveling 2.7 billion km from Earth. The ship will operate until February 2018 before being allowed to fall into Jupiter's atmosphere and self-destruct.
