Hubble Looks at Jupiter
NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope Monitors Jupiter in Support of the New Horizons Flyby
“NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope took this true-color view of Jupiter in support of the New Horizons Mission. The image was taken with Hubble’s Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 on February 17, 2007, using the planetary camera detector. Jupiter’s trademark belts and zones of high- and low-pressure regions appear in crisp detail. Circular convection cells can be seen at high northern and southern latitudes. Atmospheric features as small as 250 miles (400 km) across can be discerned.”
