Jupiter's Bubblegum Ball Appearance Captured in Stunning Ultraviolet Image

NASA celebrates Jupiter's opposition in the night sky by releasing a stunning ultraviolet image of the gas giant taken by the Hubble Space Telescope. The image showcases the planet's candy-colored appearance, with its famous Great Red Spot appearing as a dazzling blue gem. Ultraviolet wavelengths reveal how sunlight makes minerals glow and can display cosmic phenomena. Hubble researchers plan to use the data to map deep water clouds and define 3D cloud structures in Jupiter's atmosphere. Despite its age, Hubble continues to provide valuable data on the evolution of Jupiter and other celestial objects.
