Ian R I like the comparison you did. I was thinking the same thing when I first saw the images.
The great red spot looks different. |

QUOTE (Decepticon @ May 16 2010, 10:44 PM)  ...The great red spot looks different. Let me add a Pioneer 11 image that I processed some time ago:  The GRS changes are apparent, but besides that the band structure around it is also quite different. Fascinating! -------------------- _______________________

Well, for crying out loud, look at how much difference it was in 1879. This photo was taken in blue light, which makes bands and especially the red spot appear darker, but look at how big the red spot is and look at how bright the area is around it. Jupiter had its familiar, two big band structure before and after this.
