About this work
Range : 4.3 million km. ( 2.7 million miles ) This photograph taken from Voyager I, shows the area east of the Great Red Spot. The dark halo surrounding the bright spot, just to the right of the bright oval, is said by scientists to be, almost certainly, a five micron hot spot. This is a region of the atmosphere warmer than those around it. The dark halo may represent an area in which we are looking deeper into Jupiter's Atmosphere, although not yet completely understood.
