Jupiter as seen from the Hubble Space Telescope's planetary camera on May 28th 1991. This image is a composite of three exposures taken with different filters aimed at studying the dynamics of Jupiter's atmosphere. The most distinctive feature is the Great Red Spot,which appears yellow in this image,visible just below the equatorial belt at the bottom right. The Great Red Spot,almost an ellipse with a major axis of about 25,000km,is problably more than 300 years old. It is a region characterised by strong winds but at the same time,as its longevity proves,very stable | |
