I’m not sure this qualifies, but it’s too pretty to pass up. They
recently got a good look at Jupiter’s poles:

Are there any good examples of a complex system that doesn't involve
biological organisms (including human beings)?
Three most used non-biological examples I've seen are:
- ferromagnetism (described with ising model)
- Bénard cells (convection)
- Belousov–Zhabotinsky reaction
Practically any physical system that transacts forms of energy can
have
critical regimes of phase transitions and would all qualify as complex
systems.
