It’s still stunning to me how small the great red spot has become. If it gets any smaller it’s hardly a feature worth talking about. I remember back in the 80’s looking through my telescope at Jupiter and clearly seeing the spot. I know it’s entirely possible, but to see a large thing like that visibly change over my lifetime still somehow feels wrong.
About one-third the length of the range from the southeast is Mons Blanc, a peak rising to a height of 3.6 km. This compares to a typical height of peaks in this range of 1.8 to 2.4 km.
Quick summary seems to be that they’re using it to monitor the stars that Webb is seeing planets pass in front of. To better model that stars behaviour with prolonged observation. To better understand whether signals that look like water and methane are really from the passing planet, or just from changes in the star’s activity over time.
The player must learn speed control and obstacle jumping to succeed in run 3, as even the slightest error can cause accidents and failure to complete stages.
Geometry Dash SubZero throws you right into the action with levels that don't mess around and graphics that are as cold as ice. You need to have great timing and quick reflexes—one mistake and you have to start over.
You’ll find most of Chile’s observatories are in the Atacama Desert, and that almost all of the Atacama Desert is in Chile. The high elevation, incredibly low humidity, and remote location make for dark, clear skies
A key finding from the survey is that the galaxies are maturing faster in several ways than researchers previously believed. For one, the galaxies are more chemically enriched than expected, which means they have produced more heavy elements, in particular carbon and oxygen, than was thought possible during this early age of the cosmos.
As galaxies evolve, pockets of gas within them condense and ignite into stars. The new stars churn out heavy elements like carbon, which then become building blocks for the next generation of stars. Ultimately, these heavy elements (referred to as metals in astronomy) are required to make planetary systems, and even humans, in the case of our own solar system.
“How do metals form in less than 1 billion years? It was a surprise to see such chemically mature galaxies,” Faisst says. “It’s like seeing 2-year-old children act like teenagers.”
Perspective (this is a view from up/downsides, where the clouds/atmosphere behaves differently), and, I presume, different colour processing (fitting the colour spectrum into what is visible to the human eye, which is not necessarily straightforward).
It doesn’t give much info for the specifics of how it was processed:
This processed view enhances cloud-top texture and reveals swirling filaments, compact vortices, and bright high-altitude clouds embedded in a chaotic flow.
It does list the source data for processing as this:
You can see that it’s a shot from one of the poles. Also, keep in mind that while the patterns in weather last a long time, they aren’t set in stone. The way Jupiter looks slowly changes over time, just like any other planet. Even the Big Red Spot hasn’t been there forever, and will eventually disappear.
