Hi All, We’re back from a lovely holiday in Tasmania!

EagleEye was used on this image of Jupiter to see if similar Reidel structures existed in Jupiter’s atmosphere as were seen in Earth’s Atmosphere on 16th August 2022 (right image). The original image of Jupiter is on the left.

Large crosscutting features are seen! Generally these are sinistral in the lower hemisphere and dextral in the northern hemisphere.

Explanation??
