Jupiter undergoing dramatic atmospheric changes
(Reuters) Updated: 2007-06-29 11:18

Massive Jupiter is undergoing dramatic atmospheric changes that
have never been seen before with the keen "eye" of NASA's Hubble Space
Telescope. Jupiter is changing its stripes, perhaps because its seasons are
changing, scientists reported on June 28, 2007. Between March 25 and June 5,
2007, Hubble's Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 captured entire bands of clouds
changing color. In this image from March 25, 2007, a thin band of white clouds
is shown above Jupiter's equator. The white color indicates clouds at higher
altitudes in Jupiter's atmosphere. [Reuters]
