Jupiter SEB disappeared!
« on: May 28, 2010, 04:20:40 PM »
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.

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

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

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?

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

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

Seems it the belt also disappeared during a Pioneer flyby.
