Eso saqhwithi safunyanwa emva phaya ngo-1665. Le ndawo ihambelana ne-ikhweyitha yesi sijikelezi-langa, yaye igesi engaphakathi kuyo ijikeleza ngasekunene. Ngokuhamba kwexesha, indawo iyatshintsha ngobukhulu: ubude bayo, ngokutsho koqikelelo olwahlukeneyo, buyi-40-50 yeekhilomitha eziliwaka, ububanzi buyi-13-16 yeekhilomitha eziliwaka. Ukongeza, ukubunjwa kutshintsha umbala.
Umfanekiso ukwabonisa iinkanyamba ezininzi ezincinci, ezibonakala njengamabala amhlophe, amdaka kunye nesanti.
Kufuneka kuqatshelwe ukuba amafu e-ammonia aphezulu abonwa kwiJupiter alungelelaniswe ngokwamaqela amaninzi ahambelana ne-ikhweyitha. Zinobubanzi obahlukeneyo kunye nemibala eyahlukeneyo.
Umfanekiso okhutshiweyo wamkelwa nguHubble nge-27 kaJuni kulo nyaka. I-Wide Field Camera 3, esona sixhobo siphucuke kakhulu kugcino lwasemkhathini, sasetyenziselwa ukufota.
