  • Comments: One of my very first photos of Jupiter, the fifth planet from the Sun and the largest planet in our Solar System. It is a gas giant and it is mostly composed of hydrogen and helium and lacks a well-defined solid surface. Jupiter is mostly known for its Great Red Spot, a gigantic hurricane-like storm that exists for more than 300 years. Another feature of Jupiter are its colourful cloud bands, which are clearly visible on this photo. When this photo was taken, the distance between Earth and Jupiter was 5.220 astronomical units (au) or 780 900 885 054 km (about 781 million km).
