Thumbs up 3 hours of rotation - Jupiter, GRS and NEB Upheaval Animation

Hi all

Captured on the 23rd June (local time), this animation represents 3 hours of rotation on Jupiter, as the Great Red Spot (quite a bit paler this year) transits across the face of the gas giant. Also visible, down lower on the NEB, is the new “NEB Upheaval” – a series of new spots and disturbances that are likely to change the look of the NEB for the remainder of the season.

Click the link to see the full 17-frame animation which covers 3 hours of rotation. It’s a 2.4mb gif file.

Also attached are 3 stills from the animation, showing near the start, middle and end of the sequence.

Thanks for looking.
