Jupiter Captured By Hubble

Jupiter as shot by the Hubble Space Telescope. A large storm is visible as a ringed spot.

This is a public domain photo from the GRIN Great Images In NASA Collection within the NASA image archive.

This large public domain image of Jupiter shows, in great detail, the large red spot that characterizes this giant planet. The NASA website describes this spot as an enormous rotating storm, greater in size than the entire Earth, with wind speeds upwards of 270 miles per hour. As with many of the space images, this photo would make an excellent wallpaper or could be incorporated into other works.

This image was taken by the Hubble Space Telescope – NASA. NASA is an Agency of the United States Government, therefore this image is in the public domain.

    GOLDEN BALL:
    The planet Jupiter is placed next to the planet Mars.The Jupiter is the largest of all planets.It has 20 moons with it which is more than enough to show why it is considered as the largest of all planets.The NASA has sent a satellite which took lots of pictures to know about the planet.This giant planet has a beautiful out look which looks very much a golden ball which has the platinum painting.As it is little far from the sun there is no identification seen for the humans to live in. Even in Mars NASA has published that there is some pictures which shows the presence of water in it. But in Jupiter there is only hard mass of rocks and sands. No oxygen is present but has some other gases which is toxic to the human life.The speed of wind is miserable and the wind is non stop.Scientist discover that a Jupiter size planet is nearly 1500 light years away.Many red spots are found recently in the huge planet Jupiter.The Jupiter which is three times the width of the earth.The Jupiter is also called the Great Red Spot by the scientist.

    This is Jupiter, the largest planet in Solar System. The large red scar is notice in this giant planet. The NASA website describes this pimple as an enormous rotating storm, greater in size than the entire Earth! The human body is such that an outsider may think that the scar is simple. But the patient may know the potential size. This pimple is incurable, if we do not go deeply. The storm is whirling. The solution is still far away. The science is in process for the perfection. The Science knows that there are a lot of works in the labs worldwide. But even the body of the human being is not better analyzed to foresee even the fever or the reason for the heat on a part of the body. The photo reminds me of the man who died of rabies. The wound was not so apparent. That mark could not be termed as a wound. It was negligible to all. But it grew to the position of incurability. Luis Pasteur created the first vaccine for rabies. Here, the patient died like a mad dog. We are equipped with the scanner of different types. But which scanner can prove the date of expiry?
