Jupiter March 3 in multispectral

The top left image shows the GRS coming into view. White ovals A1, A2 and A3 are visible in the southern hemisphere. The South Equatorial Disturbance is visible along the SEBn near the p. limb. Three NEBs projections lie near the CM and oval WSZ is nestled between the northern edge of the NEB, and the NTrZ.

The lower left image shows the planet 68 minutes later. The GRS is clearly visible. Ovals A4 and A5 have also rotated into view (oval A4 currently lies immediately south of the GRS).

The methane band image shows that oval A2 is methane bright (and therefore probably extends higher up in the Jovian atmosphere) than ovals A1 and A3 which, although being well defined in visible light, are not methane bright. The methane-bright oval A2 has a less well-defined rim than the other southern hemisphere white ovals. Oval WSZ is also methane bright.

Hi Zac

Another stunning set of Jupiter images – wow!

Are you sure these were taken in Brisbane, Australia? How did I miss this opportunity? You must have snuck under the cloud cover on one of those rare clearings we’ve had.

Fantastic work.

Cheers

Dennis

Excellent images. Well done.
Looks like some white spots within the GRS! And great detail within WSZ.
