Scientists obtained the 'lucky' image of the planet using a special technique– and is the sharpest picture ever taken of Jupiter
May 11, 2020 - 10:52 BST HELLO! Magazine Astronomers have produced a stunning new image of the planet Jupiter. The snapshots were taken from the Gemini North telescope on Hawaii's dormant Mauna Kea volcano and show Jupiter in a different light altogether. We are used to seeing images of the planet as a pinky, purple colour but the new infrared picture shows it in a different hue altogether – and has been compared to a 'jack-o-lantern'.
The pictures and study revealed a lot about the gas giant. The new observations confirmed to scientists that dark spots in the famous Great Red Spot – the solar system's largest storm that’s been going since at least 1830 – are actually gaps in the cloud cover, and not down to differences in cloud, as previously thought.
