Vientos en la Gran Mancha Roja de Júpiter
By analyzing images taken by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope from 2009 to 2020, researchers found that the average wind speed just within the boundaries of the Great Red Spot, set off by the outer green circle, have increased by up to 8 percent from 2009 to 2020 and exceed 400 mile...

By analyzing images taken by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope from 2009 to 2020, researchers found that the average wind speed just within the boundaries of the Great Red Spot, set off by the outer green circle, have increased by up to 8 percent from 2009 to 2020 and exceed 400 miles per hour. In contrast, the winds near the storm's innermost region, set off by a smaller green ring, are moving significantly more slowly. Both move counterclockwise.

| About The Object | |
|---|---|
| Object Name | Jupiter |
| Object Description | Jovian planet |
| Distance | At the time of observation, Jupiter was 4.36 AU (405 million miles or 652 million kilometers) from Earth. |
| About The Data | |
| Data Description | The left image was created from Hubble data from proposal (A. Simon) |
| Exposure Dates | 20 Sept. 2020 |
| Filters | F395N, F502N, F631N |
| About The Image | |
| Color Info | The image on the left is a composite of separate exposures acquired by the WFC3 instrument on the Hubble Space Telescope. Several filters were used to sample narrow wavelength ranges. The color results from assigning different hues (colors) to each monochromatic (grayscale) image associated with an individual filter. In this case, the assigned colors are: Blue: F395N (395 nm); Green: F502N (502 nm); and Red: F631N (631 nm). |
