Hubble Tracks Jupiter’s Stormy Weather

Handout - Hubble Image of Jupiter’s Storm Activity and Io Taken January 6, 2024. NASA's Hubble Space Telescope imaged both sides of the giant planet, Jupiter, on January 5-6, 2024. Incredible new pictures show the stormy weather on Jupiter. The images, captured by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope on January 5-6, 2024, provide a view of both hemispheres of the planet. The space agency said Thursday (14 March) the visuals feature the largest planet in the Solar System "in all its banded glory". One image depicts the 'Great Red Spot,' the Solar System's largest storm, with a size massive enough to swallow the Earth. NASA explain that Hubble monitors Jupiter and the other outer solar system planets every year under the Outer Planet Atmospheres Legacy program (OPAL). OPAL focuses on long-term observations of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune to monitor and understand changes in their atmospheres, including variations in weather patterns, cloud formations, and other atmospheric phenomena.

Amazing survival power of water bears

TOKYO, Japan - Water bears, a slow-moving animal measuring less than 1 millimeter in length (photo), can survive extremely high atmospheric pressure equivalent to 75,000 atmospheres, according to experiments conducted by researchers at Okayama University. The eight-legged water bears are known to survive in extreme environmental conditions, such as minus 250 C temperatures, extreme dryness and heavy radiation. Fumihisa Ono, an Okayama University physics professor involved in the project, says researchers applied 75,000 atmospheres of pressure to 20 dried up water bears and found that they all came back to life six hours later when they were given water moisture. Five of them were still alive 12 hours later. Scientists say the cells of most animals die when exposed to more than 3,000 atmospheres. (Photo provided by Fumihisa Ono) (Kyodo)
