木星深淵
Jupiter Abyss

木星上的黑點是什麼?沒人能確定。 在 NASA 的朱諾號飛越木星上空的過程中,這個機器人飛船拍攝到了一個通常被非正式地稱為 "深淵 "的黑雲影像。周圍的雲層圖案顯示,深淵位於一個漩渦的中心。由於木星大氣層中的深色特徵往往比淺色特徵更深,因此深淵可能真的是一個深洞--但如果沒有更多證據,這仍然是猜測。 深淵被蜿蜒的雲層和其他漩渦風暴系統所包圍,其中一些頂部是淺色的高空雲層。 這張照片拍攝於 2019 年,當時朱諾號只在木星雲頂上方約 15000 公里處經過。 朱諾號下一次近距離經過木星附近將在大約三週後。
原文:What's that black spot on Jupiter? No one is sure. During one pass of NASA's Juno over Jupiter, the robotic spacecraft imaged an usually dark cloud feature informally dubbed the Abyss. Surrounding cloud patterns show the Abyss to be at the center of a vortex. Since dark features on Jupiter's atmosphere tend to run deeper than light features, the Abyss may really be the deep hole that it appears -- but without more evidence that remains conjecture. The Abyss is surrounded by a complex of meandering clouds and other swirling storm systems, some of which are topped by light colored, high-altitude clouds. The featured image was captured in 2019 while Juno passed only about 15,000 kilometers above Jupiter's cloud tops. The next close pass of Juno near Jupiter will be in about three weeks.
