"Jupiter's Colorful Transformation: From Red Spot to Blue Cotton Candy"

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.

"Unprecedented Ultraviolet Views of Mars Revealed by NASA's MAVEN Mission"

NASA's MAVEN mission has captured striking ultraviolet images of Mars, providing valuable insights into the planet's upper atmosphere and interactions with the Sun. The images, taken at different points in Mars' orbit, reveal ozone accumulation during the northern hemisphere's cold winter nights and the presence of a deep crater called Argyre Basin. MAVEN's data is helping scientists investigate the loss of Mars' atmosphere over time.
