Atmospheric movements on Jupiter

The Hubble telescope was obtained in a short time of atmospheric movements on Jupiter. From March 25 to June 5, the clouds near the equator on the planet have changed color and shape.

Bright colored stripes have become darker, while darker stripes are brighter, creating a new face of this giant solar system.

In Jupiter's atmosphere there are horizontal stripes with different colors. The bright areas created by hot matter fly back up, while the dark rings are cold matter flying down. The meeting between these two atmospheres creates chaotic movements.

Below the equator, the shark fin structure is replaced by a small swirling band. These changes are very common on Jupiter, but this is the first time the Hubble telescope provides an accurate picture.
