Hubble Telescope Reveals Mysterious Hurricane in Neptune's Atmosphere

The Hubble Orbital Observatory received new photographs of Neptune and Uranus, where new mysterious spots can be seen in the atmosphere of the second-largest gaseous giant and a huge hurricane at the north pole of the seventh planet.

The "striking feature" of Jupiter is a large red dot, a hurricane several hundred kilometers in diameter and a speed of about 430 kilometers at the hour. For a long time, this was considered one of the features of the largest gaseous giant of the solar system.

However, since the 1980s, scientists have begun to doubt it. In 1994, images from the Hubble telescope showed that Jupiter-type hurricanes could also appear in Neptune .

Two years ago, Hubble captured even more detailed photographs of Neptune confirming in its atmosphere, whirlwinds of relatively short duration, of only a few months in relation to the lay structures of Jupiter.

New Hubble Images Obtained In September, as part of the OPAL program, appeared another large spot of Neptune located in the polar latitudes of the northern hemisphere of the planet and surrounded by clouds Characteristic whites, which proves the sudden changes in temperature in the

According to astronomers of NASA, the Earth could incorporate it at this location while the diameter of the hurricane is around 11 m il kilometers. However, as these structures emerge and disappear, scientists are a mystery

In addition, an additional hurricane was detected at the North Pole of Uranus, with an even larger size. Scientists badume that the hurricane is formed because the seventh planet of the solar system is spinning "aside".

This characteristic makes its poles either directly facing the sun or completely hidden. , causing sudden changes in temperature, as well as storms and clouds.
