A Flight over Jupiter Near the Great Red Spot
Explanation: Are you willing to wait to see the largest and oldest known storm system in the Solar System? In the
featured video, Jupiter's
Great Red Spot finally makes its appearance 2 minutes and 12 seconds into the 5-minute video. Before
it arrives, you may find it pleasing to enjoy the
continually changing view of the
seemingly serene clouds of
Jupiter, possibly with your lights low and sound up. The 41 frames that compose
the video were captured in June as the robotic
Juno spacecraft was making a close pass over
our Solar System's largest planet. The time-lapse sequence actually occurred over four hours. Since arriving at Jupiter in 2016,
Juno's numerous
discoveries have included unexpectedly
deep atmospheric jet streams, the
most powerful auroras ever recorded, and
water-bearing clouds bunched near Jupiter's equator.
