Well, it seems that our colleague Jupiter have a problem with its characteristic cloud bands. Because as you can see, in June last year were all in place, giving the appearance of the gas giant we all know, but these days, according to emerging photos Anthony Wesley , two of his strips have dark disappeared . Will you be making up for a softer tone atmosphere? Should we change the drawing of astronomy books forever? The answer after the jump Jupiter.
Maybe once and for all Jupiter will go on as a second star in the solar system, as said Arthur C. Clarke, shooting life in Europe? (The satellite, here we are very much alive). If you have a mass 75 times higher, it could happen, but it seems that this time it is a atmospheric phenomenon repeated at irregular intervals, between 3 and 15 years .
is known as the disturbance belt sudecuatorial . Causes the brown color of the bands (formed by sulfur and phosphorus crystals mixed with ammonia to -108 degrees) to fade. Likewise, the Great Red Spot (a giant anticyclonic storm so large that its diameter is two and a half Earths) intensifies.
In a few weeks, the bands will be reset. So if you are amateur astronomers, you can take your telescope and see this strange phenomenon.
