[Atmob-discuss] Jupiter on Tuesday morning

[John Boudreau]

Here's an image of Jupiter I took on Tuesday morning shortly after 4am, showing the continuing elongation of the impact spot by the surrounding Jovian winds:

I know the weather's been a problem, but I hope that many of you have had a chance to get a look at the impact spot. It's located at Jupiter's System II longitude of 215°, and transits the planet's central meridian about 2:10 to 2:15 after the Great Red Spot.
