Default 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.
