Isithombe sibonisa ngokusobala isici somkhathi esivelele kakhulu sesikhondlakhondla segesi, okuthiwa i-Great Red Spot. Kuyi-vortex enkulu kunazo zonke emkhathini ku-Solar System.
Lesi siphepho 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, buyi-40-50 km, futhi ububanzi buyi-13-16 km. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ukwakheka kushintsha umbala.
Isithombe siphinde sibonisa iziphepho eziningi ezincane, ezibonakala njengeziqephu ezinemibala emhlophe, ensundu, kanye nesihlabathi.
Kufanele kuqashelwe ukuthi amafu e-ammonia aphezulu abonwa ku-Jupiter ahlelwe aba amabhande amaningi ahambisana nenkabazwe. Zinobubanzi nemibala eyahlukene.
Isithombe esikhishwe sathwetshulwa nguHubble ngoJuni 27 walo nyaka. I-Wide Field Camera 3, ithuluzi lokubuka umkhathi elithuthuke kakhulu kwezobuchwepheshe, lisetshenziswe ukuthwebula isithombe.
