Jupiter Globe Rotation – Loop

This version of "Jupiter Globe Rotation" does not have titles or credits, in order to allow it to be played continuously in a loop.

The giant planet Jupiter has a diameter of more than 10 times Earth's diameter. Its striped and dynamic atmosphere, dotted with massive, powerful storms, has been a continuing Hubble target over the years.

A collection of images from 2007 have been combined to get full, even coverage of Jupiter. The resulting mosaic has been mapped onto a sphere, and one full rotation is presented in the visualization.
