Jupiter's Cloud Bands
JUPITER · the striped weather machine
Jupiter's stripes are weather on a planetary assembly line: bright zones of rising, cooling gas alternate with dark belts of sinking air, and neighboring bands race in opposite directions at hundreds of kilometers per hour. Along their shear lines, storms curl up like cream stirred into coffee. The pattern has been stable for centuries, the details never repeat.
