Signs of water inside Jupiter’s Great Red Spot, says NASA

India TV News  

Signs of water have been detected above Jupiter’s deepest clouds, revealed NASA scientists peering deep inside Jupiter's Great Red Spot, a storm that has been raging on the planet for over 350 years. Jupiter has two to nine times more oxygen than the Sun which has been implied by the pressure of water combined with their measurements of another oxygen-bearing gas, carbon monoxide, researchers said. If Juno returns similar water findings, it could open a new window into solving the water problem, said Goddard's Amy Simon, a planetary atmospheres expert. "Jupiter's water abundance will tell us a lot about how the giant planet formed, but only if we can figure out how much water there is in the entire planet," said Steven M Levin, a Juno project scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
