Today no Sun images (clouds) but an animation I made of the GRS on Jupiter.  The GRS has been very active in the last few months and many observers have imaged the GRS and submitted the images to the ALPO Archive.  Using some of this data, allowed me to compose an animation of the activity between May 11 and July 20th.  I flattened each image using WinJupos’ measure and map features giving me images with uniform dimensions.  This process was followed by combining and aligning them in Photoshop and finally cropping and generating the animation.  I would like to thank Clyde Foster, Anthony Wesley, Damien Peach, Christopher Go, Mike Hood and  James Willinghan, whose images made this animation possible.
I am far from an expert on Jupiter, but looking closely will show among others, how the red material is pealed off and funneled out, how the large flakes progress, and the ”chimney” North of the GRS hollows opens.  (Click the thumbnail below to open the animated image)

This animation recalled memories of 10 years ago when I made a similar animation of the impact scar on Jupiter, showing its progression between July 19 and August 31 of 2009.
