Zooming Into Jupiter's Great Red Spot

Zooming Into Jupiter's Great Red Spot

This video is a pan across the surface of Jupiter, featuring a zoom into the planet's trademark Great Red Spot.

This new image was taken on June 27, 2019 by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope’s Wide Field Camera 3, when the planet was 644 million kilometers from Earth. The image highlights the Great Red Spot in a more intense color palette in the clouds swirling in the planet’s turbulent atmosphere than seen in previous years.
