Scientists are interested in the storms that were discovered by a NASA spaceship. New research attempts to figure out how the Jupiter's north pole's nineCyclones remain so organized.
One of the storms on Jupiter is the Great Red Spot, a mass of storm clouds. At Jupiter's north pole, there is a family of nine storms, one of which is large. The configuration has remained stable for the last few years, if not long before it was discovered.
According to the study authors, there has been a cyclone at the north pole of Jupiter for the past year. It is not known why this configuration is stable.
The south pole of Jupiter has the same configuration as the north pole but with five storms forming a pentagon. The geometric north and south pole storm systems are referred to as polygons by the researchers. The pattern rotates slowly or not at all.
The images from the Jovian Auroral Mapper were used to study the behavior of the storms. The central storm is surrounded by an anticyclonic ring that spins in the opposite direction as the main storm. The researchers think that this ring could be used to fix the system.
The storms on Jupiter show how intense meteorology can be on other planets. The north pole is covered by a huge hexagonal jet stream on the gas giant planetSaturn. It's been known to change colors.
