The prominent red and white bands on Jupiter are movable clouds. Which astronomers often use to track the winds in Jupiter's lower atmosphere And it can be seen that near the poles of Jupiter, there is a glow known as the aurora. That appears to be related to strong winds in Jupiter's upper atmosphere. But astronomers have never been able to measure wind patterns in the stratosphere.
Until recently A team of astronomers from the Labora-toire d’Astrophysique de Bordeaux in France and the Southwest Research Institute said, for the first time, it was possible to directly measure Jupiter's mid-atmosphere winds. slotxo Using the Atacama Large Millimeter / submillimeter Array-ALMA radio telescope of the European Southern Sky Observatory (ESO). And from analyzing the effects of the collision of a comet named Shoemaker-Levy 9, which hit Jupiter in 1994, astronomers discovered incredibly strong winds near Jupiter's poles at speeds of up to 1,450 km / h.
In addition to the polar wind that astounding stars A team of astronomers also use the Alma radio telescope. The existence of strong stratosphere winds directly around Jupiter's equator was also confirmed for the first time. The winds gushing here have an average speed of about 600 km / h. |
