The planet Jupiter continues to have historical discoveries made by scientists for the whole of humanity, and they are some that currently have no explanation and that are seriously surprising. More precisely, against the background of the recent discovery, which we talked about, which revealed that the speed of the winds in the great storm on the planet Jupiter is changing, scientists also say that the shape of its central eye is also changing.
The planet Jupiter records increases in the speed of the winds from the storm in certain areas of it, but also decreases in the speed in others, the scientists being seriously surprised by what they observed there. The differences are small and could only be observed because there is monitoring data that spans more than 11 years, but even so, they also notice that the shape of the eye of the storm begins to change with the speed of the winds.
Planet Jupiter: HISTORIC Discovery, Researchers Stunned
The planet Jupiter is in constant interaction with various objects in the solar system, and what scientists see now is a change in the width of the eye of the storm, but of course they cannot explain the phenomenon. It is no surprise that scientists see something on the planet Jupiter that they cannot explain, and this is because over the years they have observed numerous changes within the planet for which they could not offer any clear explanation.
"No one had predicted what was actually happening. When we found what we did, we struggled to explain. When we looked at the GRS reduction, we kind of expected to see the winds increase, conserving angular momentum, like a figure skater pulling her arms. But that's not what I measured. What we're seeing now is that both stretching and spinning are happening faster, although we can't yet say how continuous either trend is or if it's part of the GRS eventually going away."
The planet Jupiter is the largest in the solar system and also has many mysteries, scientists trying to explain as many of them as possible with the tools they have at their disposal. These instruments are still not the most efficient, so explaining some of the changes that are visible is extremely difficult, but the Juno space probe could be of greater help in the future in this very complex process.
The planet Jupiter remains in the attention of scientists because there are still many discoveries that need to be explained, and even more that will be made in the not too distant future.
