Planet Jupiter

Jupiter – The Giant of Our Solar System
Observed and imaged Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system, showing its characteristic cloud belts and zones. These alternating bright and dark bands are produced by powerful jet streams in Jupiter’s thick atmosphere, composed mainly of hydrogen and helium. The bright zones mark rising, ammonia-rich clouds, while the darker belts indicate descending, warmer gas.
Even with modest amateur equipment, Jupiter’s dynamic atmosphere—driven by rapid rotation (one rotation in ~10 hours)—reveals fascinating large-scale weather patterns that are constantly changing.
