This image of Jupiter with its 3 red spots was captured on the morning of the 9th May 2008.

The smallest of the three is fast heading for a collision with the GRS – likely to happen in the next 3 weeks. Will be very interesting to see what happens when they meet.

Jupiter + 3 red spots - upsized (north up)

Thanks for reading.
