内部热量导致的木星巨型风暴

Internal Heat Drives Jupiter's Giant Storm Eruption
Detailed analysis of two continent-sized storms that erupted in Jupiter's atmosphere in March 2007 shows that Jupiter's internal heat plays a significant role in generating atmospheric disturbances. Understanding this outbreak could be the key to unlock the mysteries buried in the deep Jovian atmosphere. An international team coordinated by Agustin Sánchez-Lavega from the Universidad del País Vasco in Spain presents its findings about this event in the January 24 issue of the journal Nature. The team monitored the new eruption of cloud activity and its evolution with an unprecedented resolution using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, the NASA Infrared Telescope Facility in Hawaii, and telescopes in the Canary Islands (Spain). A network of smaller telescopes around the world also supported these observations.
大意：2007年3月木星发生了这次大气喷发，美国使用了哈勃（右），红外望远镜（左）拍下来了。

这几天见到不少大图，这张也很好，收藏。右侧的可见光照片可以看到木星的一些细节，与自己收集的多年前的木星照片对比一下，看看还有多少相似之处。

对木星2007年3月开始的2个行星级风暴（这里 continent-sized storms显然不能称为洲际风暴）的详细分析表明，木星内部的热量在其剧烈的大气扰动中扮演了重要的角色。详细了解这些是解开深埋在木星大气内部的秘密的钥匙。一个由西班牙巴斯克大学的Agustin Sánchez-Lavega负责的国际小组，把他们的研究成果发表在1.24出版的《自然》期刊上。这个团队使用NASA的哈勃望远镜、夏威夷的红外望远镜设备和西班牙加那利群岛的望远镜，以空前的精细分辨率监控这2个风暴的活动和演化过程。世界上的一些小望远镜也通过网络支持这些观察活动。
