Image of Jupiter taken with the Hubble Telescope
Jupiter as seen from the Hubble Space Telescopes planetary camera on May 28th 1991. This image is a composite of three exposures taken with different filters aimed at studying the dynamics of Jupiters atmosphere. The most distinctive feature is the Great Red Spot, which appears yellow in this image, visible just below the equatorial belt at the bottom right. The Great Red Spot, almost an ellipse with a major axis of about 25, 000km, is problably more than 300 years old. It is a region characterised by strong winds but at the same time, as its longevity proves, very stable

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing image of Jupiter, captured by the powerful lenses of the Hubble Space Telescope on May 28th, 1991. The composite image is a result of three exposures taken with different filters, allowing scientists to delve into the intricate dynamics of Jupiter's atmosphere. The most striking feature in this photograph is undoubtedly the Great Red Spot, which appears as a vibrant yellow hue against the backdrop of Jupiter's equatorial belt at the bottom right. This colossal storm system takes on an almost elliptical shape with a major axis spanning approximately 25,000 kilometers. Remarkably, it has persisted for over three centuries and stands as a testament to its unwavering stability amidst fierce winds that characterize this region. As we gaze upon this celestial marvel, we are reminded of both the extraordinary beauty and enigmatic nature of our universe. Through scientific exploration and astronomical studies like these, we gain valuable insights into planetary behavior and unravel mysteries that lie millions of miles away from Earth. This awe-inspiring image serves as a reminder that there is so much more beyond our own planet waiting to be discovered and understood. It ignites our curiosity about distant worlds while showcasing the remarkable capabilities of human ingenuity in capturing such breathtaking cosmic phenomena.
