NASA has captured Jupiter’s Megastorm in a splendid new image. The Jupiter Megastorm has been carrying on for centuries now. This megastorm is much more huge than our Earth. This “Great Red Spot” has been observed from the Juno spacecraft.
The image of the “Great Red Spot” that has been released by seem like a real photograph to you, but it has actually been generated by Roman Tkachenko, the citizen scientist. By processing raw data taken from the Junocam on the Juno Spacecraft, he gave rise to this image.
Juno Spacecraft has been encircling Jupiter and was 285,100 miles away from Jupiter when the raw data of this image was gathered. This Great Red Spot of Jupiter is a sign of the planet’s tumultuous atmosphere and is about 25,000 miles wide. The largest planet of our solar system has a megastorm of a vast size as well.
With the “Great Red Spot” of Jupiter, we can also see the “String of Pearls” and three smaller storms in a series on the planet’s southern hemisphere. This image has been made available to the public, and the Juno Spacecraft collected this data as it flew by Jupiter and made its third closest flyby of the planet.
