Jupiter March 30. New NTB white spots in multispectral

[Zac Pujic]

Here are some images showing the early appearance of the new NTB white spots. The colour image shows two of the spots and the blue-gray material which partly encompasses them. The third spot is visible in the methane and UV images. All three spots are UV, near-IR and methane bright unlike the NEBn white ovals which are UV-bright but not methane bright. The methane images also show the f. end of the STrD-1 and the oval BA as being methane bright. The GRS is rotating into view in the last two images.

Lastly, the shadows of Europa and Ganymede are visible in the northern hemisphere.

Great double transit, Zac. I was hoping to get the new white spots this morning but they're moving very quick and had already set I think. Going through the data now.

Nice work Zac, if the weather stays favourable then I might get to see them tomorrow morning...
