Incredible Images Reveal a Single Moment on Jupiter in Different Wavelengths of Light

Incredible Images Reveal a Single Moment on Jupiter in Different Wavelengths of Light 12 MAY 2021 Jupiter: king of the planets, protector of the inner Solar System. We all know what the gas giant looks like, with its vanilla and butterscotch ice-cream bands of counter-rotating cloud, and the iconic red storm raging in the southern hemisphere.   But that s only how Jupiter looks in optical wavelengths, though. When imaged in wavelengths beyond the limits of human vision, Jupiter appears differently. In infrared, thermal emission glows brightly, with cooler regions duller red (a bit like lasagna); in ultraviolet, soft, cotton-candy pastels show us different altitudes.

Incredible infrared images show Jupiter s churning atmosphere

Infrared images of the gas giant Jupiter show the massive planet s churning atmosphere like never before - beyond what we can see with the human eye. Hawaii s Gemini North observatory and the NASA Hubble space telescope captured the largest planet in the solar system in a range of light wavelengths. The images show the planet at infrared, visible, and ultraviolet, revealing details of the atmosphere of the gas giant not visible without specialist observatories.  These views reveal a range of details in atmospheric features such as the Great Red Spot, superstorms, and gargantuan cyclones stretching across the planet’s disk.
