Cylindrical Map of Jupiter in Jul to Aug 2021





This cylindrical map has been made from Jupiter images in previous page, composed from those from Jul 20 until Jul 24 and from Aug 3 until Aug 4.
In this season, the Great Red Spot (GRS) has positioned at just 0° of the Jupiter's system II-longitude. The permanent white spot of "Oval BA" on the Southern Temperate Band (STB), which caught GRS up in last summer, has moved eastward (leftward in this image) and currently reached around the other side of GRS. In addition, it can be detected that several other dimmed white spots are distributed around the Oval BA. The activity of the Northern Equatorial Band (NEB), which had the complicated disturbances in last season, has regained calm and seems a monospaced thick brown band. It is noticeable that eight dark spots are paralleling with unequal longitudinal spaces just north (lower in this image) of NEB.
