KOMPAS.com- Who does not know the biggest planet of Solar system this, Jupiter. New photo captured telescope NASA’s Hubble shows the details atmosphere planet Jupiter.
The visuals of this planet are indeed interesting compared to some of the other planets in our Solar System.
Reporting from Space, Wednesday (12/5/2021), the third picture of Jupiter show the super storms that are on the planet.
The photo just captured by space telescope Hubble and the Gemini North observatory in Hawaii reveal clearly the shape of the atmosphere that envelops Jupiter.
The images were captured at different wavelengths, which are helping scientists figure out what is driving the formation of super gas storms on the planet Jupiter.
Scientists have finished processing the image, which is captured in infrared to ultraviolet wavelengths.

Furthermore, a new photo of the planet Jupiter can then be analyzed which allows it to be compared from different views of the clouds above the gas giant.
The appearance of planets changing in different waves allows astronomers to gain new insights into the behavior of Jupiter’s atmosphere.
Surprisingly, according to researchers, there is the Great Red Spot, which shows a super giant storm that persists south of the equator of the planet Jupiter.
The red dot is highly visible, visible in both visible and ultraviolet light wavelengths, but almost blends with the infrared light waves in the background.
The comparison between the three types of wavelengths in the new Jupiter photo shows that the dark area representing the Great Red Spot in the infrared image is larger than the corresponding red oval in the visible image.

The difference is due to the fact that each of these imaging techniques captures a different nature of the planet Jupiter’s atmosphere.
This was conveyed by the United States National Optical-Infrared Astronomy Research Laboratory (NOIRLab), in a statement that released an image of Jupiter on Tuesday (11/5/2021).
Meanwhile, infrared observations show areas covered with thick clouds, visible and ultraviolet images highlight locations called chromosomes.
These locations are molecules that absorb blue and ultraviolet light, giving the large red spots of the storm their distinctive red color.
On the other hand, this image also shows a swirling cloud of Jupiter, which is clearly visible in the three images.
Telescope NASA’s Hubble doesn’t just capture the Great Red Spot in Jupiter’s atmosphere.

The telescope also revealed the Junior Red Spot, a smaller red spot, which formed in 2000, when three massive storms hit the planet.
Just like the Great Red Spot, this junior red spot is almost invisible when observed at infrared wavelengths, and disappears into cooler clouds.
Scientist Mike Wong, from the University of California, has further compared this photographic image of Jupiter’s atmosphere with radio signals detected by NASA’s Juno spacecraft studying the planet.
These radio signals indicate lightning or lightning in Jupiter’s atmosphere.
By combining these three new types of photographs of the planet Jupiter with lightning data, Wong and his team were able to investigate different layers of cloud structure to gain a better understanding of the formation processes behind massive storms on the largest planet in the Solar System.
