In June of 2020, an amateur astronomer named Clyde Foster from Centurion, South Africa, made a very significant discovery with his 14-inch telescope when he noticed a strange “spot” located to the southeast of Jupiter’s “Great Red Spot”. Just two days after Foster’s discovery, NASA’s Juno spacecraft performed detailed observations of the new and mysterious feature. According to Juno’s observations, scientists confirmed that it was a plume of cloud material that erupted over the top layer of Jupiter’s atmosphere. These “outbreaks” sometimes occur in the planet’s latitud...

But as new images from the Juno spacecraft show, the once circular feature has morphed into an enigmatic splotch. The feature was first detected by Clyde Foster, director of the Shallow Sky section of the Astronomical Society of Southern Africa, on May 31, 2020. Foster spotted the spot using his own 14-inch telescope, and, quite fortuitously, NASA's Juno probe made a close approach two days later, allowing for a ...

Clyde's Spot on Jupiter is extending: Here are pictures from Juno's latest pass over India Today Web Desk Jupiter The Juno Spacecraft, which is hovering over Jupiter, captured the intriguing evolution of a feature in the giant planet's atmosphere known as "Clyde's Spot." The low pass over conducted on April 15, 2021 over the cloud tops of Jupiter found that the region is twice as big in latitude and three times as big in longitude as the original spot, and has the potential to persist for an extended period of time. The spot is named after astronomer Clyde Foster of Centurion...
