Incredible infrared images show Jupiter's churning atmosphere

Infrared images of the gas giant Jupiter show the massive planet's churning atmosphere like never before - beyond what we can see with the human eye. Hawaii's Gemini North observatory and the NASA Hubble space telescope captured the largest planet in the solar system in a range of light wavelengths. The images show the planet at infrared, visible, and ultraviolet, revealing details of the atmosphere of the gas giant not visible without specialist observatories. These views reveal a range of details in atmospheric features such as the Great Red Spot, superstorms, and gargantuan cyclones stretching across the planet's disk. Viewing planets at different wavelengths of light allows scientists to glean otherwise unavailable insights such as features of storms previously hidden, the team said.
