From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.New images of Jupiter taken by NASA's Juno spacecraft have been turned into stunning abstract artworks through a simple process of colour enhancement.
The gas giant’s stormy atmosphere lends itself well to photography, as layers of clouds constantly swirl around each other to form beautiful patterns.
Juno has been orbiting Jupiter since July 2016 and often sends images back to Earth, with the most recent being captured early in February.
NASA releases the images and encourages members of the public to play with them. You can see for yourself here.
Here The Independent has collated the best images from Juno in the gallery above.
