NASA releases new image of Jupiter’s mysterious dark vortex

I'm sure I had a shirt with that pattern on it back in the 90s


The image was compiled by Citizen scientists Gerald Eichstädt and Seán Doran using data from Juno’s JunoCam , I think they did a pretty good job and evidently so do NASA as they've released it on the Juno website.

Theories abound as to the nature of Jupiter’s dark vortex but I lean toward the thought it's a Star Gate ... prove me wrong.


It's worth noting NASA have also discovered a dark vortex on Neptune.


That's probably how they're getting here ... maybe , perhaps.

Red spot shrinks, dark spot grows...hexagonal vortex at the poles a few years back...

Jupiter has a lot of weird s*** going on! Awesome shots - thanks for sharing!

Saturn had the hexagonal pole thing, I believe.

Almost looks like a acrylic pouring painting.

Here's one of mine.... : )

Very cool, thanks for sharing. Im going to have to start "Hollow Jupiter Theory!"

Do we get to name this black hole too?

I promise to not violate anything this time, really!

(no matter how funny I think it is)

Global warming is not just for earth, all of the planets in our system are having climate change or weird weather patterns happening.
I believe it is a cycle that all the planets are going through

Uh oh, it's happening?

Hollow Jupiter theory has been done.

Pretty sure it's a gas giant though, so you really gotta stretch your definition of hollow. Not to mention it's density is sub-star or super-planet.

If there are hollows, they gotta be made of something very, very, strong.

It simply has to be true. Now the question is exactly why?

The most interesting thing about this photo is if you zoom in it looks like we are getting a peek through the eye of a storm in its thick atmosphere and see what looks to me like land mass with vegetation surrounded by water or in other words an island...

This is really neat! It's amazing the things we humans have accomplished over the last 60 years, when it comes to space and astronomy.

Haha was going to say the same.. the largest paint pour in sol..

Not as good as someone I knows pours, though.

Wonder if one , or both of them sucked in a fair sized asteroid.
The pinkish-yellowish one on Neptune reminds of the scars that Jupiter got from Shoemaker-Levy 9.

If it were cometary, we probably would have picked it up.

yeah, Im pretty sure youve heard of "tongue in cheek"
no?
