Station Juno (Jupiter Polar Orbiter) was able to determine the depth of the Great red spot of Jupiter, reports Rus.Media. Animated image of the depths of the gas giant available on the NASA website.

The opening is made with the microwave radiometer MWR (Microwave Radiometer). It turned out that the giant vortex penetrates deeper into the atmosphere at 300 km, with increasing depth the temperature increases. It has a size of about 40 thousand kilometers in length and 13 kilometers in width. It’s more of any of the linear dimensions of Earth.

The great red spot is the largest atmospheric vortex in the Solar system. Its supervision by academics within the last 300 years.

The objective of the Juno mission is the study of clouds and polar auroras of Jupiter. With the help of the station, scientists hope to learn more about the origin of the planets, structure and physical properties of its atmosphere and magnetosphere. Mission Juno should be completed in February 2018, when it will drown in the atmosphere of a gas giant.
