Let’s take a trip around a gas giant 🚀 Jupiter’s trademark is its "Great Red Spot" which is the oval roughly the width of Earth. With a deep atmosphere containing hydrogen and helium, and jet streams blowing in opposite directions and different latitudes, Jupiter is a unique planetary destination in our solar system. Thanks to Hubble’s Wide Field Camera 3, scientists are able to produce maps of Jupiter using data gathered during Hubble Outer Planet Atmospheres Legacy program observations, which
