Title:
Galileo Zooms in on Jupiter's Red Spot Title Galileo Zooms in on Jupiter's Red Spot Title
Explanation:
What does the largest storm system ever recorded look like close-up? This storm system is Jupiter [ http://seds.lpl.ari…]'s Great Red Spot [ http://antwrp.gsfc.…] and it was captured recently [ http://newproducts.…] in detail by the robot spacecraft Galileo [ http://antwrp.gsfc.…] now in orbit around Jupiter [ http://antwrp.gsfc.…]. Using real images from three color filters, the Galileo team was able to compute what a person would see if able to float just above this ancient rotating cloud system [ http://irtf.ifa.haw…]. But don't get too close - remember that Jupiter's Great Red Spot [ http://tnj.phys.tue…] is a cold, high pressure area more than twice as wide as planet Earth [ http://antwrp.gsfc.…].
