Jupiter’s Surface..

One of my favorite places..

“The first color movie of Jupiter from NASA’s Cassini spacecraft shows what it would look like to peel the entire globe of Jupiter, stretch it out on a wall into the form of a rectangular map, and watch its atmosphere evolve with time.

The brief movie clip spans 24 Jupiter rotations between Oct. 31 and Nov. 9, 2000.

Voyager 1′s approach during a period of over 60 Jupiter days. Notice the difference in speed and direction of the various zones of the atmosphere. The interaction of the atmospheric clouds and storms shows how dynamic the Jovian atmosphere is.
