   Explanation: [8]Take this simulated plunge and dive into the upper
   atmosphere of Jupiter, the Solar System's ruling gas giant. [9]The
   awesome animation is based on image data from JunoCam, and the
   microwave radiometer on board the Jupiter-orbiting [10]Juno spacecraft.
   Your view will start about 3,000 kilometers above the southern Jovian
   cloud tops, and you can track your progress on the display at the left.
   As altitude decreases, temperature increases while you dive deeper at
   the location of Jupiter's famous [11]Great Red Spot. In fact, [12]Juno
   data indicates the Great Red Spot, the Solar System's largest storm
   system, penetrates some 300 kilometers into the giant planet's
   atmosphere. For comparison, the [13]deepest point for planet Earth's
   oceans is just under 11 kilometers down. [14]Don't worry though, you'll
   [15]fly back out again.
