The Hubble telescope observes Jupiter to create a dynamic map

10 hours. The Hubble Space Telescope observed a small planet of the Solar System in order to recreate a map of the dynamic behavior of gases on Jupiter. At the first minutes of observation, the astronauts were able to determine the exact size of the contracting Big Red Spots, as well as the change in the structure of the planet and the epicenter of the Big Red Spot occurrence during the observation process.

Large red spots on Jupiter called the area of ​​storms or hurricanes, which occurred mainly in the southern part of the planet beyond the equator of Jupiter. These observations were discovered 300 years ago during the beginning of the development of astronomy and a detailed study of the planets of the solar system. The place of the storm on Jupiter becomes lighter and shrinks when the storm weakens and stops, to date the epicenter of the storm has sharply reduced by almost half compared to measurements 100 years ago. Today, the spots are 240 km wide, and at one time it was a giant crater about 4,000 km wide. Over time, it began to decrease and shrank more than twice, but the complete disappearance of the Great Red Spot on Jupiter is impossible.

When observing from Habbala, scientists noticed that inside the storm areas an incomprehensible active layer arises in which movement occurs at high speeds. The cause and process of this shell has not yet been understood.

Scientists managed to remove two maps while observing Jupiter. One of them was taken 01/19/2015 between 2:00 am and 12:30 pm, and the second on the same day between 3:00 pm and 23.40 nights. A comprehensive review of the maps gave an idea of ​​the movement of gases on Jupiter.

Another oddity recorded on Jupiter was that in the northern part of the planet from the equator it was not noticed how the structure of water was formed in the study of the planet from the Voyager-2 spacecraft in 1979. The fact that the structure and the formation of water has not been studied, added interest to Jupiter.

Why is Jupiter's Great Red Spot never disappear?

One of the theories about the big red spot on Jupiter is that it is a baroclinic wave, which often form in the Earth’s atmosphere like cyclones. Since these waves of Jupiter are in the areas of formation of cyclones and anticyclones, it is also assumed that these are baroclinic waves propagating upward to the gas cloud and the gas ring of Jupiter.
