NASA's $1 Billion Juno Probe Captures New Hi-Res Images of Jupiter's Great Red Spot

NASA's plucky Juno probe has returned its first close-up photographs of Jupiter's Great Red Spot, and they are stunning. On Monday, Juno flew about 5,600 miles above the mysterious tempest — more than a million miles closer than any previous spacecraft has flown. The Great Red Spot is a massive storm between one and two times as wide as Earth. It has tumbled in the planet's atmosphere for at least 350 years.

Do we know yet what is at the surface of Jupiter?

I've heard things like metallic liquid hydrogen ocean and a possible rocky core.
