Description

For northern latitudes, Jupiter is difficult to observe currently. The planet was only 18° above the horizon. To the lower left of the Great Red Spot one can see another detail which is called "Red Spot Junior". This spot is known for years as "Oval BA" and recently changed color from white to orange like the GRS. Ganymede can also be seen to the lower left of the image.
