Has NASA really found the traces of water on the Jupiter?

NASA scientists and researchers started investigating the red spots of the Jupiter more closely and deeply, which made them reach to a conclusion. The conclusion was that these red spots are nothing else but water.
NASA scientists say that the red spots are there since 350 years which has resulted in the formation of oxygen by intermixing with carbon monoxide over time. Consequently, the amount of oxygen on the Jupiter, exceeds the amount of oxygen on the Sun now.
NASA sent its spacecraft, Juno, to the Jupiter to find the traces of water there. Juno, in the first place, was designed to find the traces of water on different planets. Juno however, is in the danger of seeing no return, after entering the red cyclones of the Jupiter. The red spot is filled with electro-magnetic energy, which is very difficult to escape.
If the traces of water found in Jupiter are really what they are believed to be, Earth’s water crisis can be solved to a great extent. If Juno succeeds in this venture, it will be sent on the other planets for the quest of water. Juno functions by identifying the traces of water in the form of gas molecules or vapors. That’s how it traced water on the Jupiter –by identifying the vapors.
NASA scientist Gordon L. Bjoraker said that, “the great red spot” was not thick enough to escape their eyes. NASA’s spacecraft, Juno oscillates from South to North once in every 53 days for its research. According to NASA, “the red spot” is surrounded by three types of clouds, in which, one type is expected to have oxygen. Which means it is the source of water on the Jupiter.
