Largest and furthest, just right of center, is the Great Red Spot &#8212; a huge storm system that has been raging on Jupiter possibly since Giovanni Cassini&#8217;s likely notation of it 355 years ago. It is not yet known why this Great Spot is red. The spot toward the lower left is one of Jupiter&#8217;s largest moons: Europa. Images from Voyager in 1979 bolster the modern hypothesis that Europa has an underground ocean and is therefore a good place to look for extraterrestrial life. But what about the dark spot on the upper right? That is a shadow of another of Jupiter&#8217;s large moons: Io. Voyager 1 discovered Io to be so volcanic that no impact craters could be found. Sixteen frames from Voyager 1&#8217;s flyby of Jupiter in 1979 were recently reprocessed and merged to create the featured image. About 43 years ago, Voyager 1 launched from Earth and started one of the greatest explorations of the Solar System ever. via NASA <a href=\"https:\/\/apod.nasa.gov\/apod\/ap200628.html\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What are those spots on Jupiter?
