046-redspot-dixon 046-redspot-dixon – A detailed, close-up view focuses on Jupiter's Great Red Spot, capturing the immense anticyclonic storm system as it rotates within the planet's southern hemisphere. Concentric, multi-layered spiral patterns define the rich brick-red core of the vortex, which is surrounded by a brilliant white cloud channel. Intricate, chaotic eddies, turbulent wakes, and smaller white ovals interact along the margins of the neighboring atmospheric bands, fading into darkness toward the planet's shadow-draped terminator on the right. - painting by Don Dixon for documentary Jupiter Odyssey in 1974. © Don Dixon — 046-redspot-dixon – A detailed, close-up view focuses on Jupiter's Great Red Spot, capturing the immense anticyclonic storm system as it rotates within the planet's southern hemisphere.
