Great Red What? Check out Jupiter’s giant, magnetic tornado
The dark UV ovals were first detected by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope during the late 1990s at the north and south poles. During the Cassini spacecraft’s flyby of Jupiter in 2000, it also confirmed these ovals at Jupiter’s north pole, but the ovals did not get a lot of attention from scientists.
Magnetic tornado is stirring up the haze at Jupiter's poles
Dark ovals in Jupiter's polar haze, visible only at UV wavelengths, were first noticed 25 years ago, then ignored. A UC Berkeley study shows that these dark UV ovals are common, appearing at the south pole in 75% of Hubble Space Telescope images taken since 2015.
Magnetic tornadoes on Jupiter are spawning Earth-size storms
Magnetic vortices twisting down from Jupiter's ionosphere into its deep atmosphere cause giant, ultraviolet-absorbing polar anticyclones, each the size of our Earth.
Hazed And Confused: Magnetic Tornadoes Are Wreaking Havoc On Jupiter
The dark UV ovals were first spotted by NASA’s Hubble spacecraft in the late 1990s, but have only recently been studied in depth.
Jupiter’s polar ‘tornadoes’ are stirring up strange, dark spots
Astronomers have discovered mysterious, Earth-sized dark spots at Jupiter’s poles that appear and disappear unpredictably. These spots, only visible in ultraviolet (UV) light, are embedded in a thick haze at the poles and seem to be linked to the planet’s strong magnetic field.
Jupiter’s Earth-Sized Storms Might Be Caused by Magnetic Tornadoes, Study Claims
New research reveals that Jupiter’s magnetic tornadoes generate massive Earth-sized storms, visible only in ultraviolet light.
