Guess that astronomers can't imagine Jupiter's big erythema. How big is it?

Jupiter's big erythema is larger than scientists imagined

Big erythema is not only wide, but also deep.

It is difficult to imagine how big Jupiter's big erythema is from the earth, because the storm can swallow the earth.

Now we find that the big erythema is not only wide, but also deep, deeper than anyone predicted.

The data of the "Juno" spacecraft of NASA proves that the scale of the giant storm near Jupiter Genting has reached 310 miles (about 500 kilometers).

Moreover, this Jupiter's vortex is closely linked to the jet place, suggesting that the upper and lower atmospheres of this huge planet are connected.

Thanks to the two groups of scientists, these discoveries are the discovery of the two sets of data obtained from the two devices from "Juno".

A set of gravity of this large erythema. It comes from a very simple idea: in order to prove whether any "fingerprint" was left on Jupiter's gravitational field, they turned the "Juno" gravity scientific equipment to this one with a width of 10,000 miles (16 kilometers). storm.

"This is not the original purpose of Juno," Pariceizia is a scientist from the Southern California Jet Promotion Laboratory of NASA. The gravity is not the original purpose of Juno. "

The use of gravity measurement equipment to measure the atmosphere is not fresh. For example, the two satellites of the NASA's "gravity" ("gravity recovery and climate experiment" task also did the same measurement experiments on the earth. Gravity equipment is also better than other equipment than other equipment At the same time, the observation of the atmosphere is more deeper. At the same time, I have not done gravity equipment observation experiments on this song.

However, even after they put forward this idea, they do not know if they must find something. Big erythema may be a behemoth, but it is just a little bit of Jupiter's total quality. At the same time, Parryi said, "If you don't know how deep this big red spots are, you can't predict what you will see."

However, the researchers did get the fluctuations of Jupiter's heavy field, which was enough for them to grasp the depth of the storm: 310 miles (500 kilometers), which is higher than the distance from Earth Sea Plane to International Space Station. At the same time, they also found that this big storm seems to be composed of more in -depth jets, with 1900 miles (300 kilometers) deep.

At the same time, another team is studying the large erythema through the microwave radiation meter of Juno. Microwave radiation meter is a device that can detect the atmosphere of the planet by microwave. These scientists want to observe more deeper storms to see how it moves vertically.

They found that the scene was extended deeply with several storms on Jupiter, and the precipitation and airflow reached an unprecedented depth. They found these phenomena under the clouds of Jupiter. Under the clouds, the ammonia and water in the atmosphere condensed.

At the same time, gravity and microwave measurement equipment show that the upper levels of Jupiter have great significance to these depths.

Since 2016, Juno has sent a number of satellites that have long -term operations around Jupiter. Recently, NASA has stated that the mission will last until 2025. If it is running as planned, Juno's trajectory will move to the North Pole of the planet, far from the south where the red spots are located. However, according to Parisi, Juno's equipment will have the opportunity to observe other wonders, such as Jupiter's mysterious polar whirlwind.

Parryi also said, "Then we have the moon, we have already flew through Muwei San, we will do this for Muwei Er and LO. They will obviously collect data there."

Great Red SPOT, abbreviated for abbreviations) is a huge anti -virus storm that existed at 22 ° south of Jupiter equator. Since 1830, it has been continuously observed for 189 years. However, the records of observation between 1665 and 1713 may also be the same storm, which said that it has continued to exist for at least 350 years [1] [2] [3]. Such storms are not rare in the atmosphere of wooden stars.
