Jupiter's southern equatorial belt disappeared earlier this month. Jupiter just doesn't look right. It had happened in the past and had always come back, but still: weird.

Well, that's weird.

Oh yeah! I read of that a few days ago on Stargazers lounge. Jupiter looks ugly now.

I think Jupiter looks cool even with that gone!

Anthony Wesley! That same person who found the impact.

Here's my proof. South on top.

deoxy99 · « **Reply #7 on:** May 29, 2010, 02:25:18 PM »

It looks nearly the same color all through out, so that isn't good proof.

Looks kinda ugly, no offence Jupiter!

Look very carefully.

Here is them labeled.

It does look very strange, or empty rather. Yeah, if you do look hear enough in the telescope picture you can see it missing.

Look hear enough?

NeutronStar... This image is so much better when cropped:

atomic7732 · « **Reply #15 on:** June 03, 2010, 04:34:05 PM »

The quality goes down, I find it easier to see the bands in the higher quality,

Maybe scernario repeating from move "2010 Space Odyssey"

atomic7732 · « **Reply #17 on:** June 04, 2010, 09:56:24 AM »

That would be black.

witold · « **Reply #18 on:** June 04, 2010, 12:03:40 PM »

In movie is black but i real can be in other way

atomic7732 · « **Reply #19 on:** June 04, 2010, 12:33:26 PM »

How about the book, that's black. maybe it's a war that happens periodically, a race in jupiter thinks the SEB needs to go and revolts against another one, which wants it there. How about that?

rottweiler07 · « **Reply #20 on:** June 04, 2010, 04:31:26 PM »

Or white clouds rose from under it and hid it from view.

Hmmm... I would think.

Or NASA's plans worked. (JK, I know it's a fake conspiracy)

Conspiracy theorists are crazy. We can't put a man on the moon, but we can turn a planet into a star. Talk about internal conflict. LOL

hahahaha. Epic fail.

Seems it the belt also disappeared during a Pioneer flyby.
