It is named after South African Centurion astronomer Clyde Foster, who discovered it in 2020 using his own 14-inch telescope.
Clyde’s Spot
Juno Spacecraft, hovering over Jupiter Planet, has photographed the ‘Clyde spot’ in the atmosphere of the giant planet. On 15 April 2021, a low pass over over Jupiter’s clouds found that the region is twice the latitude and three times longer than the actual spot and has the potential to last longer.
It is named after South African Centurion astronomer Clyde Foster, who discovered it in 2020 using his own 14-inch telescope. Later Juno gave detailed information about this natural phenomenon. Actually this spot is a pile of clouds formed above the upper layer of the Jovian atmosphere.
Changed spots in complex structure
This spot above the upper layers of the atmosphere lies to the south-east of Jupiter’s ‘Great Red Spot’, which is currently about 1.3 times wider than the Earth. NASA said in a statement that many spots are formed for a short time in Jupiter’s highly dynamic environment, but monitoring done by Junochem Instruments in April 2021 shows that nearly a year after its discovery the remains of the Clyde spot are not only Great Have moved away from the red spot but have turned into a complex structure.
45,000-27,000 km photos taken from above
During the study on Jupiter, Foster discovered a new spot that was seen through a wavelength sensitive filter of light and appeared bright. At the same time, this spot was not seen in the pictures taken by astronomers in Australia a few hours ago. Explain that the Juno spacecraft was 45,000–27,000 kilometers above the clouds when it captured the latest pictures in its camera. Apart from the Clyde spot, the Great Red Spot is one of the most interesting features of the planet.
