Cylindrical Map of Jupiter in Sep 2023





This cylindrical map has been made from Jupiter images in previous page, composed from those from Sep 1 until Sep 12.
This season, the Great Red Spot (GRS) has positioned at 40° of the Jupiter's system II-longitude. Currently, the GRS is moving westward (to the right) across the face of Jupiter at a rate of approximately 20° per year. Slightly to the west of the GRS, you can a permanent white spot called Oval BA on the South Temperate Belt (STB). Furthermore, seven small white ovals are distributed around the entire circumference on the South South Temperate Belt (SSTB).
Both the North Equatorial Belt (NEB) and the South Equatorial Belt (SEB) are prominently dark and encircle the entire planet. Particularly noticeable is the presence of multiple dark, claw-like projections (festoons) extending from the NEB towards the equatorial direction.
