Summary
[edit]DescriptionJupiter (6 January 2024) (heic2404c).tiff |
English: The giant planet Jupiter, in all its banded glory, is revisited by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope in this new image, taken on 6 January 2024, that captures both sides of the planet. Hubble monitors Jupiter and the other outer Solar System planets every year under the Outer Planet Atmospheres Legacy programme (OPAL). This is because these large worlds are shrouded in clouds and hazes stirred up by violent winds, leading to a kaleidoscope of ever-changing weather patterns.A pair of storms is visible: a deep red cyclone and a reddish anticyclone, appear to be next to each other at right of centre. They look so red that at first glance, it looks like Jupiter skinned a knee. These storms are rotating in opposite directions, indicating an alternating pattern of high- and low-pressure systems. For the cyclone, there’s an upwelling on the edges with clouds descending in the middle causing a clearing in the atmospheric haze.The storms are expected to bounce past each other because their opposing clockwise and counterclockwise rotations make them repel each other. Toward the left edge of the image is the innermost Galilean moon, Io — the most volcanically active body in the Solar System, despite its small size (only slightly larger than Earth's moon). Hubble resolves volcanic outflow deposits on the surface. Hubble's sensitivity to blue and violet wavelengths clearly reveals interesting surface features.[Image description: Jupiter is banded with stripes of brownish orange, light grey, soft yellow, and shades of cream, with many large storms and small white clouds punctuating the planet. At upper right of centre, a pair of storms appear next to each other: a deep-red, triangle-shaped cyclone and a reddish anticyclone. Toward the far-left edge of this view is Jupiter’s tiny orange-coloured moon Io.] |
