TL;DR Summary

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has captured a stunning ultraviolet image of Jupiter, revealing the planet's storms and highlighting the Great Red Spot. The image, created by combining data from three different ultraviolet filters, will help scientists study Jupiter's atmosphere and map water clouds deep within its interior. The polar regions of Jupiter appear less prominent in the image due to differences in particle size, composition, or altitude. This latest observation adds to decades of research conducted by Hubble on Jupiter, including the famous observation of the comet Shoemaker-Levy collision in 1994.
