Jupiter featurning the Great Red Spot, Red Jr and the moon Europa.
'Red Junior' is a storm that caused quite a stir in 2006. Amateur Astronomer Christopher Go of the Philippines noticed that the storm known as Oval BA was changing colour from white to red. Since then the Hubble Space Telescope has been used to study the storm. In February 2007 the New Horizons spacecraft took some highly detailed images of 'Red Jr' as it used Jupiter to sling shot itself towards Pluto. |
