The Hubble also showcased the planet in visible light, where you can observe a large red spot, which appears blue in ultraviolet wavelengths and represents a storm.

These data are part of a study aimed at mapping deep-water clouds in Jupiter’s atmosphere. The Hubble has a history of studying outer planets and, with its ultraviolet capabilities, allows the analysis of cosmic phenomena and the evolution of galaxies.
