Jupiter: The Great Red Spot Near the Limb
“The Great Red Spot approaching Jupiter's western limb, with strong turbulence in the surrounding cloud deck.”
Here the Great Red Spot has rotated close to Jupiter’s western limb, still showing clear turbulent structure in the surrounding South Equatorial Belt. The planet’s characteristic banding remains sharply resolved, with a low-noise background typical of a steady night of seeing.
