There are huge storms with a massive planet.
A new citizen science project focuses on storms on Jupiter. Anyone around the world can help scientists search for storms on the largest planet in our solar system with the launch of Jovian Vortex Hunter.
The project is focused on studying the different types of clouds on Jupiter in order to better understand how the atmosphere of the largest planet in the solar system works.
Photos of crescent Jupiter and Ganymede were snapped by Juno.
It has been operating at the planet for more than five years. The project allows citizen scientists to improve the imagery from the craft.
Scientists with many questions about their formation and evolution will be interested in the new project.
We don't know why the clouds have so many colors. Are the clouds formed at different altitudes because of the pressure and temperature?
The researchers hope to tackle these topics by asking participants in the project to catalog where the vortices are forming.
The project will create a catalog of different types of vortices and match them with the underlying physics/chemistry of the location that they form in.
He said that they could learn a lot about the Jovian atmosphere with your help.
