A JUPITER IN CONSTANT MUTATION

[astroavani]

Two photos from the same region (see Oval BA at 1 am), with an interval of 9 months, perfectly attest to the great changes that have taken place on the planet.
The equatorial zone (EZ) assumed a brown coloration, the North Temperate Band (NTB) practically disappeared and the South Tropical Zone (STrZ) widened considerably.
In short, a planet with a fascinating dynamics that shows why it is my favorite target.

There was a mistake and I should have reversed the image last year! I apologize, but I do not see a need to change all the photos posted.

Feb 2018 was a good month for the seeing! Maybe you'll have better conditions soon, and a chance to photograph the oval in the same position as last year. That would be nice.

Great work! Thanks.

These are some seriously good images Avani, great work!

Excellent comparison. Jupiter is a fascinating planet.

I did suspect a change in appearance when I had a very brief glance the other morning. Love the dynamic world of the planets!
