A Jovian Planet This Hubble Space Telescope image gives a detailed view of Jupiter’s cloudtops. Jupiter is composed mostly of the lightest elements, hydrogen and helium, which are colorless; the colors in the atmosphere are caused by trace amounts of other substances. The giant storm at lower right, called the Great Red Spot, has been raging for more than 300 years.
