MISTERY OF JUPITER'S ATMOSPHERE

 
A 14-frame clip showing the atmosphere of Jupiter as viewed from the NASA probe Cassini.
 Taken over a span of 24 Jupiter rotations between October 31 and November 9, 2000, this clip shows various patterns of motion across the planet. The Great Red Spot rotates counterclockwise, and the uneven distribution of its high haze is obvious. To the east (right) of the Red Spot, oval storms, like ball bearings, roll over and pass each other. East-west bands adjacent to each other move at different rates. Strings of small storms rotate around northern-hemisphere ovals. The large grayish-blue "hot spots" at the northern edge of the white Equatorial Zone change over time as they proceed eastward across the planet. Ovals in the north rotate counter to those in the south. Small, very bright features appear quickly and randomly in turbulent regions, possibly lightning storms. The smallest visible features at the equator are about 600 km (370 miles) across.

The 25 students who survived the frantic terror attack will be offered full scholarship to study and complete their studies in Italy and realize their dreams as planned before. Italian Minister for Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Paolo Gentiloni, said his country was deeply saddened by the happenings in Garissa where heavily armed Al Shabaab terrorists descended on the University College claiming the lives 147.
In addition the Italian government will extend a soft loan to Kenya to help settle the students in the aftermath of the attack.
“My Government wants to work closely with Kenyan Government to make sure terrorism is checked. We are very keen to ensure stabilization of Somalia which is the base of Al Shabaab terror group," he said.
“We are also offering Kenya training opportunities for its officers to capacity-build on anti-terror squad,” said the Minister.
Foreign Affairs Cabinet Secretary Ambassador Amina Mohamed appreciated Gentiloni whose visit was to discuss the tragic terrorist attack with a view to strengthening Italian Government support in the fight against terrorism.
