This page shows you the observed images of Jupiter in the season of 2011.
The Jupiter has been positioned in Aries in the year of 2011, we can observe the planet in fairly higher southern night skies from summer to autumn. The South Equatorial Belt (SEB) that lost its color in previous year has recovered its brown color in beginning of 2011. Now we can observe two major stripes through small scopes, but the Great Red Spot (GRS) has a bit faint reddish color.
