London - Scientists claim understand the more unique thunderous storm in the largest planet in the universe, Jupiter. This storm has boomed during the 200-230 years. Like what?
Secret Behind Eternal Storms of Jupiter
Using thermal images collected from the telescope 5 meters, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) managed that extracted latest information about the structure of the storm.

"This image is the first detailed picture of the biggest storms in the solar system," says senior research scientist at JPL.

Images from the Very Large Telescope in Chile, the Gemini Observatory telescopes in Chile and Japan's Subaru telescope in this show, the center is red-orange planet has a temperature of -13 to -15 Celsius compared to the surrounding environment.

Not only that, in other parts of Jupiter, the temperature changes that occur enough to change the speed of wind and cloud patterns are affecting the belts and zones.

"The first time we could tell the intimate relationship between environmental conditions with the original color of the Great Red Spot," says lead study author, Leigh Fletcher, from JPL.

"Unfortunately, although we could calculate it, we're not sure which chemicals or processes that cause the color of it but we believe this is related to changing environmental conditions in the heart of the storm," he said as quoted Dailymail.
