Red and Red Jr

Hubble delivers as nicely as Cassini - the old pro keeps ticking along, with sharp and gorgeous photos, such as these of Jupiter and its Great Red Spot and the new little one - mind you, Red Jr is bigger than Earth.

These brilliant shots were taken in April, 2006, by Hubble. They show that Jupiter has acquired a new storm, first detected in February. It's called, officially, 'Oval BA' (no, not after Phil Plait), and Red, Jr, as a nickname. The Great Red Spot is a storm that's been raging for centuries - Red, Jr is a chance for us to study weather on our planet's biggest sibling.

Trés cool, no?
