Kunamaplanethi afana neJupiter, okuwukuphela kwawo bheka izinhlobo zazo ezingabonakali zomkhathi okumboza indawo engaphezulu kungasishiya sididekile. Lokhu kwenzeka ngezithombe ezibuyiswe yiphenyo likaJuno le-NASA.
Kusukela ngangena emjikelezweni weJupiter ngoJulayi 2016, iphenyo Ndawonye ibilokhu ithwebula izithombe ezinhle zeplanethi enkulu. Futhi ngenkathi umsebenzi wayo bekufanele uphele ekupheleni kuka-18, i-NASA izoqhubeka nokuphenya ngophenyo kuze kube ngu-2012, okuzosivumela ukufinyelela ezinye izinyanga ezingama-41 zezithombe ezithakazelisayo.
Abanye bathumba abasishiya edidekile ngenxa yokuxaka yesimo sikaJupiter. UJuno udlulisa izithombe ngefomethi ye-RAW ngaphandle kokulahleka kwekhwalithi, bese zilayishwa kuwebhusayithi yayo ukuze noma ngubani azilande.
Izithombe zokugcina ezishiywe nguJuno ziveza lowo muzwa wokuthi namanje kuningi esingakuthola ngeplanethi njengoJupiter. Ngalesi sikhathi ukwazile ukuqopha uchungechunge lwezehlakalo ezimangalisayo ezishiya izithombe ezithinta ingqondo kalula.
Thwebula iziphepho ze-anticyclonic ku- Ukuphakama kwamakhilomitha ayi-7.000 nokuthi kubukeka sengathi yilowo khilimu owenziwa lapho kwenziwa ikhofi elihle enkomishini. Izithombe ezinikeza ukusebenzisa umcabango futhi zindiza nazo.
Elinye lamaphoyinti athathwe izithombe kakhulu yi- indawo enkulu ebomvu yeJupiter kwaziwa kahle futhi kulokhu, lesi esisezithombeni, sibukeka njengehlengethwa elincela lawo magagasi abonakala akhiwa yisimo esikhethekile seplanethi enkulu.
Izithombe lokho hlala nazo zonke izinhlobo zemicabango futhi lokho kukhombisa ukuthi sikude kangakanani nokwazi ubunjalo beplanethi ecashe ngaphansi kongqimba lwamafu neziphepho. Kuze kube yilapho sesikwazi ukuweqa, ngeke sazi ukuthi sinamathela kanjani kulokho okukhona ebusweni beJupiter.
