Indeed we do. Fascinating science in progress. Nice ring photo too.

That Juno-probe photo looking straight down at Jupiter's pole is truly CREEPY!
The level of detail is amazing.
It's fascinating to think that Earth's atmosphere would look somewhat similar to
Jupiter's swirling gas clouds, if we had a similar opague atmosphere. Good thing
we don't have ammonia and hydrogen sulfide here, instead of oxygen/nitrogen; for
one thing, it would smell really bad ;-P

Actually no, it wouldn't.
Hydrogen sulfide only stinks at low concentrations.
At high concentrations, it literally kills your sense of smell even
before you notice it.

Ammonia is just NH3, plenty of nitrogen and hydrogen.
We have one chance: plenty of oxygen to make water, strongly reducing
the amount of available hydrogen for ammonia.

Actually, I like the smell of H2S. It makes me feel hungry. To me it
smells of boiled eggs not rotten eggs.

Then it kills you.
Not many people know, because it was hushed up, that three men were
killed on the Brent Spar by H2S.
One man collapsed in a vessel and when two others went into it to rescue
him. They too were overcome. (Late 70's or early 80's, I think)

Well, I guess 'relative smelliness' is in the eye of the beholder... uh, I mean,
nose...

That is true.
I've worked with it quite a bit testing and calibrating gas detectors.
Mostly on my own. ;)
