Jupiter and GRS- 01/29 PERFECT CONDITIONS!

Posted By Carlos E. Hernandez

Chris,

An outstanding image of Jupiter showing much detail. The Great Red Spot (GRS) appears like the eye of a Cyclops. The South Equatorial Belt (SEB) following the GRS is very active. Many white ovals are noted within the South Temperate Zone (STZ). A prominent blue festoon has been captured along the southern border of the North Equatorial Belt (NEB-S). A dark streak is visible over the North Polar Region (NPR). Thank you for sharing this image with us all.

An excellent image of Jupiter and Io. The SEB red spot is very interesting and bears monitoring. The salmon-colored elongated oval along the northern border of the STB is also interesting. Thank you for sharing. I look forward to your future images.

Eric,

It does appear that you have captured a white spot(oval) over the Equatorial Zone (EZ) of Saturn. We will have to monitor this region on the future. Thanks for sharing your animation with us all.
