Two perspectives of Jupiter show off the wealth of data supplied through the spectral filters at the Hubble House Telescope’s Large Box Digital camera 3 (WFC3) science device. At left, the RGB composite is created the usage of 3 filters at wavelengths very similar to the colours noticed through the human eye. At proper, the wavelength bounds are widened past the visual vary to increase simply into the ultraviolet (UV) and infrared regimes. People can not understand those prolonged wavelengths, however some animals (reminiscent of mantis shrimp, whose eyes serve as in a similar fashion to sure sensors on some NASA missions) are ready to locate infrared and ultraviolet mild. The result’s a brilliant disk that presentations UV-absorbing lofty hazes as orange (over the poles and in 3 huge storms, together with the Nice Crimson Spot), and freshly-formed ice as white (compact typhoon plumes simply north of the equator). Astronomers, together with the OPAL group, use those filters (and others now not proven right here) to review variations in cloud thickness, altitude, and chemical make-up.NASA, ESA, Amy Simon (NASA-GSFC), Michael H.
