Moving Winds in Jupiter

Each loop in this video represents approximately 10 Earth hours or one #Jupiter day, approximating what it would look like if the Great Red Spot were constantly illuminated. By analyzing this set of data from #NASA’ s Hubble #Space Telescope, researchers were able to simulate what the wind flow looks like around Jupiter’s Great Red Spot: Just south of the Great Red Spot is an eastward jet and at the southern border is a westward jet.
