Seeing Jupiter’s Red in the Lab
Image link
Jupiter’s Great Red Spot is a result of chemicals being broken down by sunlight, researchers report. The scientists, at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, blasted ammonia and acetylene gases, both found on Jupiter, with ultraviolet light. This produced a reddish material with light-scattering properties similar to those of the spot.
