Like thisStrange storms for me Thursday Rediscovered in 2017 from the NASA spacecraft Particularly interesting Scientists. new research I tried to find out How The nine storms Orbit around the north pole of Jupiter Very neat.

Jupiter Creator big red dot Actually a mass of rotating storm clouds called an anticyclone, e He she’Q Just one of many storms gas giant. At Jupiter’s north pole, there is a family of nine hurricanes – a large storm surrounded by eight smaller hurricanes – first observed in 2017 by NASA’s Juno spacecraft, which orbits the planet. A study has been published inside natural astronomy to examine Why does this picture exist? Stable in recent years, long before it was invented.

“Since 2017, the Juno spacecraft has observed a spiral cyclone at Jupiter’s north pole, around which eight small cyclones were arranged in a polygonal pattern,” the study authors wrote.. “It is not clear why this formation is stable or how to maintain it.”

Jupiter’s south pole has a similar structure, except that the five storms form a pentagon. In front of the arctic eight there is an octagonal component. Researchers refer to storm engineering systems at the North and South Pole as “polygons”.” Guy: “The polygons and the single rotation that compose them have remained stable for 4 years since the discovery of Juno. Polygons rotate slowly or do not rotate at all.

The researchers used a series of images from Jovian Infrared Auroral Mapper of Juno, oh Jeram To study the behavior of these storms. Dr.Mullah Identified ‘anti-vortex ring’ to surround Center The storm mainly rotates in the opposite direction tornado. Researchers claim that this cycle helps stabilize the system.

storms Thursday strike An example of bad weather that can occur on other planets. Saturn, another gas giant planet, is a large planet hexagonal jet Includes the North Pole. This is also known change colour.
