Ibinahagi ng National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) ang imahen ng "Great Red Spot" ng Jupiter na nasa layo raw na 13,917 kilometro.
Sa isang Instagram post, inihayag ng NASA na ang kanilang spacecraft na "Juno" ang nakapitik sa naturang “true color portrait” ng Great Red Spot ng Jupiter.
“Scientists believe that our solar system’s most iconic storm has existed for over 350 years, though data suggest that the storm is shrinking, its height diminishing by an eighth and its width by at least a third since it was measured by our Voyager spacecraft in 1979,” pagbabahagi ng NASA.
Ayon pa rito, dalawang beses na mas malaki ang Great Red Spot kaysa sa Earth.
“Recent studies by Juno indicate that the storm plunges around 200 miles (300 km) beneath the planet’s clouds," saad ng NASA.
“With no solid ground on Jupiter to weaken storms, winds in the Great Red Spot peak at about 400 mph (643 kph),” dagdag pa nito.
