There is, if you ask me, too much of a good thing, or, in this case, too close of a closeup.
At least for me, a poor amateur who likes Jupiter but is not a true Solar system
aficionada.
Let me offer this piece from the APOD as evidence for your consideration:
That, ladies and gents, appears to be what Jupiter looks like the moment before Juno dives into the Great Red Spot. If Juno ever did take such a plunge, that is. Can't remember.
As you can see, this particular part of Jupiter appears to be blue. That's actually not as crazy as it sounds, because there are little parts of the Jupiter cloudtops that are blue or bluish gray. These places are, I believe, actual breaks in the cloud cover, so that we see, well, "blue sky" below. Consider the pictures of Jupiter below and note little patches of grayish blue:
The bluest parts of Jupiter are the bluish festoons, which are seen emerging from the north equatorial belt and protruding into the white equatorial zone. I don't remember seeing a lot of blue near the Great Red Spot, however. Consider these tips on how to draw Jupiter:
So what are we seeing in today's video? Yes, I know what we are seeing. I'm just having trouble to "see" what we are seeing.
P.S: What's this?
Oh, that's a cropped and heavily blown-up still from the movie
Minority Report (at 0.55). Couldn't you see that?
