This ultraviolet Hubble movie shows the ring aurora on Jupiter and the silhouette and shadow of its moon Europa. You can also see the magnetic footprint of Io, just ahead of the aurora.

Jupiterʼs moons

Ganymede, Callisto, Io and Europa

This image shows an enhanced colour, daytime and stereographic image of Jupiter’s south pole. 

It was imaged by NASA’s Juno spacecraft from an altitude of 32,000 miles (52,000 kilometers). The oval features are cyclones, up to 600 miles (1,000 kilometers) in diameter.

Io transiting Jupiter, photographed by Voyager 1, 31 January 1979.  South is up, which is why the Great Red Spot’s in the upper hemisphere.

(As with yesterday’s gif, I’m not fully certain I’ve identified the moon correctly: it looks like Io to me, and the orbital speed seems about right, but for the life of me I can’t get HORIZONS to agree with the pictures: at the time of the first frame (C1541036), my spreadsheet tells me that none of the Galilean moons should even be in the frame.  The problem’s fixed if I pretend that the z-coordinate of every position is zero, but that’s cheating….)

Jupiter is perpetually covered with clouds composed of ammonia crystals and possibly ammonium hydrosulfide. The clouds are located in the tropopause and are arranged into bands of different latitudes, known as tropical regions. These are sub-divided into lighter-hued zones and darker belts. The interactions of these conflicting circulation patterns cause storms and turbulence. Wind speeds of 100 m/s (360 km/h) are common in zonal jets. The zones have been observed to vary in width, color and intensity from year to year, but they have remained sufficiently stable for scientists to give them identifying designations.

The cloud layer is only about 50 km (31 mi) deep, and consists of at least two decks of clouds: a thick lower deck and a thin clearer region. There may also be a thin layer of water clouds underlying the ammonia layer. Supporting the idea of water clouds are the flashes of lightning detected in the atmosphere of Jupiter. These electrical discharges can be up to a thousand times as powerful as lightning on Earth. The water clouds are assumed to generate thunderstorms in the same way as terrestrial thunderstorms, driven by the heat rising from the interior.
