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.
Dubbed by some astronomers as "Red Spot Jr.," the new
spot has been followed by amateur and professional astronomers for the
past few months. But Hubble's new images provide a level of detail
comparable to that achieved by NASA's Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft as
they flew by Jupiter a quarter-century ago.
