Scientists Absolutely Baffled As Jupiter Loses One of Its Stripes
In just under a year, Jupiter has lost its Southern Equatorial Belt. Scientists have no idea why this has happened and they remain baffled.
Scientists across the globe are in panic, as Jupiter has lost one of its stripes. This is akin to one day looking through a powerful telescope and noticing Saturn is missing a ring, or that Mars has turned blue.
Jupiter is a giant planet full of gas and liquid, its distance from the Sun being some 500 million miles. We know Jupiter’s surface to be composed of dense red, brown yellow and white strata of cloud formations. Each of these cloud zones are referred to as belts.
Data extrapolation from thermodynamic charting reveals that the highest of these clouds, the natural white layers, are made of crystals from frozen ammonia.
The darker clouds are naturally made from more impure, dirty chemicals, such as phosphorous and sulfur. High winds and torrential storms on Jupiter’s surface blow these clouds into the formations we are used to seeing.
As astronomers race to theorize why Jupiter has lost a stripe, we are left to wonder if any cataclysmic change on Jupiter could have affect on any other parts of our solar system.

please do provide a link to where siencetist are scared or baffeled.
my guess with my extremly limted knowledge is that jupiter being a huge mass of gas it simply moved….or that maybe it’s just the back of jupiter seeing as the 2 pictures aren’t that alike. a bit of source would help.

I highly doubt that scientists are in a panic about this.

Yup. And it’s called ‘rotation’ in some languages, most notably English.

hahahahaha! I dont get what this post is about…..maybe to make scientists look bad? I dunno, but I guarantee scientists will have an answer before this website. That pic cracks me up to…….rotation, hahahahaha. Dumb Abe. His profile pic is really creepy looking also.

It is a belt, you moron. The belt goes around the entire planet. The entire belt is missing, and we do not know why. Rotation has nothing to do with it, because it encompasses the entire sphere. No matter what angle you look at it from that bearing, there should be part of the red band there.

It’s called weather, idiot. Jupiter has weather. Weather- and forgive me if this is too big a logical jump for you to handle- makes the sky change.
This proves that Jupiter is a planet with a thick, shifting atmosphere, something that scientists have known for years.
Precisely who is baffled by this?

well… i know my share of astronomy… its a weathersystem… like the big red spot is a hurricane and might eventually disappear…
besides it cant affect anything, stripe or not, jupiters mass remains the same

Why would we be in panic, as such an event has no influence on human life. Even if problems arise with the layer of liquid hydrogen, the magnetosphere and/or the ejecting plasma, we will not worry.

you probably feel really smart when you try to debate with a FAKE website with FAKE articles. lol you’re pathetic american science

It’s gas. gas, over time, dissipates. That’s what happened, most likely with an atmospheric change withing Jupiter. much like tornadoes or hurricanes on our planet. We’re not on jupiter, so it’s hard to notice storms.

maybe jesus needed this ring to finally get engaged. I’m sure his Jewish mother thinks it’s about time.
