The telescope hubble It might seem that this thing of the past with the release of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), however it is a device that can still provide us with some impressive images.
This is exactly what has just happened with his most recent released images, where the evolution of climate change between Jupiter and Uranus is documented.
The term may sound alarming to us as inhabitants of Earth, where the current state of the atmosphere is cause for concern about pollution.
However, on these distant planets the rules of physics and the environment are somewhat different and everything progresses at a very different pace. What has been possible to appreciate in its fair magnitude now thanks to Hubble.
Most importantly, this is a series of documented findings regardless of the JWST. A fact that maintains the validity and current value of the device that still has many stories to reveal to us.
Hubble’s findings regarding climate change on Jupiter and Uranus
Through its official website the hubble telescope just released a series of images and data documenting the results of their most recent observing period devoted to Jupiter and Uranus. Where the variations of the climate in both stars are analyzed.
The report, in broad strokes, shows the qualities of seasonal changes on the two planets. Where Jupiter, which is very far from the sun, counts as the largest source of heat with its own inner core. So its core temperature would be very high, being a determining factor for its constitution and climate.
Since this internal heat affects its atmosphere that contains multiple layers and has unusual characteristics such as geometric storms at its poles, resulting in the formation of wave-shaped cyclones and anticyclones that cross the planet.
As for Uranus, the images in the report capture the planet’s rings and the white haze created by its caps over the star’s pole. Where its orbit is carried out in an inclined manner, unlike other planets that move vertically.
The images are therefore somewhat unmissable, since they help us to better understand the qualities of both remote planets that experience seasons and rhythms that are very different from those of our Earth.
Hubble still has to offer the scientific community.
