EXOPLANET MOST LIKE EARTH

 Read captions carefully.........👇👇👇👇

Astronomers were surprised after what used to be a familiar planet appeared with a new look. Jupiter changed the color of its stripes and some of its famous swirls. 



The storms created disturbances in their flow and color, which gave the planet a new look. Researchers used data gathered through NASA's Hubble Space Telescope and telescopes on Earth. 


Understanding How Jupiter Changes Color


The planet’s atmosphere contains high levels of hydrogen and helium. Methane, ammonia, hydrogen sulfide and water are also present above the surface. Jupiter’s top-most cloud layer gives its colorful appearance, including the brown belts and white swirls.


Astronomers spotted the bright plumes that changed Jupiter’s colors in January 2017. The storm clouds appeared like the cumulonimbus clouds on Earth. 


The study backs a theory, called moist convection, which explains how plumes form. It suggests that the combination of ammonia and water vapor in the atmosphere helps form liquid droplets.


Condensing water in the clouds then produces heat that causes the clouds to expand and rise to higher cloud layers. The plumes then break through ammonia ice clouds, appearing on top of the atmosphere.

Floaters look like small specks, dots, circles, lines or cobwebs in your field of vision. While they seem to be in front of your eye, they are floating inside. Floaters are tiny clumps of gel or cells inside the vitreous that fills your eye. What you see are the shadows these clumps cast on your retina.  pc: @sourtruth

The Backwards Moon🌒🌒

The Backwards Moon🌒🌒 Triton orbits Neptune in what is known as a retrograde orbit. This means that it orbits Neptune a direction opposite the planet's rotation. It is the only large moon in the Solar System to do this. ... Some believe that it condensed this way from the original material of the early solar system. 👉 Follow @map_of_science_ for more scientific fact and information.
