Isithombe sibonisa ngokucacile isici esivelele kakhulu somoya we-giant gas - okuthiwa i-Great Red Spot. Lena yi-vortex enkulu kunazo zonke emkhathini esimisweni sonozungezilanga.
Isiphepho esikhulu satholwa emuva ngo-1665. Le ndawo ihambisana nenkabazwe, futhi igesi engaphakathi kuyo izungeza ngokuphambene newashi. Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, indawo iyashintsha ngosayizi: ubude bayo, ngokusho kwezilinganiso ezihlukahlukene, bungamakhilomitha ayizinkulungwane ezingu-40-50, ububanzi bayo buyi-13-16 amakhilomitha ayizinkulungwane. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ukwakheka kushintsha umbala.
Isithombe siphinde sibonisa iziphepho eziningi ezincane, ezibonakala njengeziqephu ezimhlophe, ezinsundu nesihlabathi.
Kufanele kuqashelwe ukuthi amafu e-ammonia aphezulu abonwa ku-Jupiter ahlelwe aba amabhande amaningi ahambisana nenkabazwe. Zinobubanzi obuhlukene nemibala ehlukene.
Isithombe esikhishiwe samukelwe nguHubble ngoJuni 27 nonyaka. I-Wide Field Camera 3, ithuluzi elithuthuke kakhulu kwezobuchwepheshe lendawo yokubuka umkhathi, yasetshenziselwa ukuqopha.
