New Nasa video shows Jupiter in stunning 4k resolution

Nasa's latest video shows us Jupiter like never before

The Hubble Space Telescope has provided 4k images of Jupiter, offering a more detailed view of the planet than ever.

Every year new photos are taken by the Hubble telescope of each planet in order to spot any visible changes that might occur.

Jupiter is the first of our solar system to have its picture taken this year, a particularly special event considering the new ultra-HD 4k resolution.

Interesting features have arisen as a result, including a rare wave above the planet's equator and changes in its Giant Red spot.

“Every time we look at Jupiter, we get tantalizing hints that something really exciting is going on,” said Amy Simon, a planetary scientist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. “This time is no exception.”

The findings have confirmed that the Spot has been shrinking and becoming rounder over time. It has also turned to more of an orange colour, with the core mellowing in intensity.

Nasa reports that "An unusual wispy filament is seen, spanning almost the entire width of the vortex," which rotates and twists due to winds reaching 330 miles per hour or more.
