Jupiter's Dry Spots
NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE
The Galileo spacecraft, known for its images of Jupiter's moons, also explored the planet's atmosphere. In 1995, its atmospheric probe descended into Jupiter's clouds, finding a surprising absence of water. Scientists now believe the probe entered through one of Jupiter's "dry spots," similar to the dark region seen in this image of the swirling Jovian cloud deck. The smallest features visible here are tens of miles across.
