HUBBLE SNAPS BABY PICTURES OF JUPITER'S "RED SPOT JR." (STScI-PRC06-19)
FOR RELEASE: 1:00 pm (EDT) May 4, 2006
PHOTO NO.: STScI-PRC06-19 HUBBLE SNAPS BABY PICTURES OF JUPITER'S "RED SPOT JR." NASA's Hubble Space Telescope is giving astronomers their most detailed view yet of a second red spot emerging on Jupiter. For the first time in history, astronomers have witnessed the birth of a new red spot on the giant planet, which is located half a billion miles away. The storm is roughly one-half the diameter of its bigger and legendary cousin, the Great Red Spot. Researchers suggest that the new spot may be related to a possible major climate change in Jupiter's atmosphere. These images were taken with Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys on April 8 and 16, 2006.
