5Jupiter's Great Red Spot turns blue in new ultraviolet view Jupiter's Great Red Spot turns blue in new ultraviolet viewViewing Jupiter in ultraviolet light really brings out the planet's storms.
The Hubble Space Telescope recently snapped an ultraviolet image of the gas giant, offering a stunning false-color look at the planet's turbulent atmosphere. Prominent in the image is Jupiter's Great Red Spot. It is especially visible in this picture because haze particles high in Jupiter's atmosphere — which are particularly concentrated above the giant, centuries-old storm — are very good at absorbing ultraviolet light.NASA's Hubble Space Telescope reveals an ultraviolet view of Jupiter.
