Reported Discovery, Jupiter has many surprises for astronomers. Largest planet in the solar system's gas giants are made of different chemical elements.
The astronomers determined that the dark part of Jupiter is the "belt", in which this material had decreased movement. While the brighter parts known as "the zone", where the ammonia down into the upper atmosphere, as well as dark lines between the two are known as "bands" or ribbon.
There were high winds known as the jet stream and form a belt. The wind is also moving in the opposite direction between the belt zone.
One of the unique features and famous owned Jupiter is the Great Red Spot. Great Red Spot is a storm that is larger than hurricanes on Earth, which is located in the Southern Equatorial Belt, Jupiter.
The appearance of this feature through a telescope can look very smooth. However, astronomers are able to improve the monitoring of the object by using the technology of color filters attached to the lens of the eye.
To get a good view of Jupiter is to use a minimum of 50X magnification. Thus, it will produce a detailed look at the planets beyond the normal scope.
More than 50x magnification, astronomers can see more detail Jupiter's atmosphere. The atmosphere surrounding the cloud belt and the Great Red Spot
