Jupiter: By Uthkarsh V.

About New Interesting Discoveries on Jupiter
                               This new Hubble Space Telescope view of Jupiter, taken on June 27, 2019, reveals the giant planet's trademark Great Red Spot, and a more intense color palette in the clouds swirling in Jupiter's turbulent atmosphere than seen in previous years. Hubble's Wide Field Camera 3 observed Jupiter when the planet was 400 million miles (640 million kilometers) from Earth, when Jupiter was near "opposition," or almost directly opposite the sun in the sky.

NASA scientists have been doing a lot of research on Jupiter. They have been peering deep inside
Jupiter’s great red spot, which is a storm that has been raging on the planet over 350 years. They
have detected signs of water above the planet’s deepest clouds. Researchers have predicted that
Jupiter has two to nine times more oxygen than the sun.
The great red spot is full of dense clouds due to which electromagnetic energy cannot escape and
hence scientists don’t get any information about the invisible spot. A theory says that decades ago
the Jupiter was identical in composition to the sun. However, these new findings indicate that Jupiter
has an abundance of water which can solve our planet’s water problem. All this data for research has
been provided by NASA’s spacecraft named Juno.
