Jupiters_new_red_spot
A couple of storms in Jupiter's atmosphere merged into a larger one last year and within the past couple of months this storm has turned the same color as Jupiter's Great Red Spot, prompting astronomers to call the newer spot (OvalB) "Jr." In this photo, it is at lower left, just above where the two short white lines would intersect on the planet. At right is the GRS, where the other two lines would intersect. Photo was made at 4,800mm FL using a 6" apo refractor.
Scope and mount supplied by 3RF (see www.3rf.org).
