Jupiter’s Colorful Palette | Hubble

Jupiter’s Colorful Palette | Hubble


The NASA/European Space Agency Hubble Space Telescope reveals the intricate, detailed beauty of Jupiter’s clouds in this image by Hubble’s Wide Field Camera 3, when the planet was 644 million kilometers from Earth. The image features the planet’s trademark Great Red Spot and a more intense color palette in the clouds swirling in the planet’s turbulent atmosphere than seen in previous years.

The observations of Jupiter form part of the Outer Planet Atmospheres Legacy (OPAL) program.
