... Hubble s Jupiter and Shrinking Great Red Spot . ... It's also known for a giant swirling storm system, the Great Red Spot , featured in this sharp Hubble image from April 21. Nestled between Jupiter-girdling cloud bands, the Great Red Spot itself could still easily swallow Earth, but lately it has been shrinking. The most recent Hubble observations measure the spot to be about 10,250 miles (16,500 kilometers) across. ... Publications with keywords: Jupiter - Great Red Spot . ...

The planets Jupiter and Venus will make an apparent close approach to each other on the early morning of Friday, 5th November. When Jupiter rises above the eastern horizon at 4.07 a.m. for Northern Ireland viewers, it will be just about one Moon-width away from the much more brilliant Venus. ... In reality, a vast distance will separate the planets. ... FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John McFarland at the Armagh Observatory, College Hill, Armagh, BT61 9DG. ...

... Galileo Probe . The Galileo spacecraft was designed to study Jupiter's atmosphere, satellites, and surrounding magnetosphere for two years. ... From there, Galileo will spend more than five years traveling to Jupiter, where it will become the first spacecraft to make direct measurements from an instrumented probe within Jupiter's atmosphere. ... This image, taken by the Hubble Space Telescope, shows the predicted site at which the Galileo Probe will enter Jupiter's atmosphere on December 7, 1995. ...
