This was reported by NASA, according to Ukrinform’s report.

Photos were taken on January 5 and 6, 2024.

Hubble monitors Jupiter and other planets in the Solar System each year as part of the Exoplanet Atmospheric Heritage Program (OPAL). This is because clouds, fog, strong winds on the planet lead to constant changes in weather conditions.

In one of the photos at the bottom right you can see an object sometimes called the “Young Red Spot”. This anticyclone resulted from the merger of storms in 1998 and 2000. At first it was white, but in 2006 it turned red, then became beige.

This year he got a little red hot again. The source of the red color is unknown, but it may be the result of chemical compounds: sulfur, phosphorus or organic substances.

Moving in the opposite direction, the Junior Red Spot passes the Great Red Spot approximately every two years.

The second photo shows that storm activity also occurs in Jupiter’s opposite hemisphere. Storms (a dark red hurricane and a reddish anticyclone) appear to the right of the planet’s center. They rotate in opposite directions, indicating the alternation of high and low pressure systems.

As Ukrinform reports, NASA’s Juno space station approached Jupiter’s moon Io and took detailed photographs of volcanic activity.
