Jupiter 2019-08-22 02:22 UTC

Description

Jupiter is 40 arc-seconds in diameter tonight, down from 46 arc-seconds at opposition in June. Despite the smaller apparent diameter, the view remains just as good thanks to cooperative weather.

Notes:

The Equatorial Zone is still orange.
The South Equatorial Belt is pale on its northern half.
The Great Red Spot is setting.
The faint STB Spectre is sprawling south of the GRS.
