On Jupiter, a new, previously absent and not typical for this planet, formation of an incomprehensible nature, discernible even in amateur telescopes, was discovered.
According to SpaceWeather, on July 19, 2009, on Jupiter near the South Pole of the planet, an unusual formation, uncharacteristic for a giant planet, was noted, which externally represents a dark "trail" observed against the background of the planet's cloud cover.
The formation was discovered by Australian amateur astronomer Anthony Wesley using a homemade Newton reflector telescope with an aperture of 14.5 inches (0.36 m) with a focal length of 1: 5.
The formation is a dark elongated "trace" - a segment near which three symmetrically located "point" formations are distinguishable. Their morphology cannot be determined, the points are visible at the limit of the actual resolution of the images.
According to the discoverer himself, two days before May 19, he also observed Jupiter, but did not find anything anomalous.
A preliminary assumption is made that the formation may be caused by the fall on Jupiter of a celestial body - possibly a comet. However, other explanations are also possible - other anomalous processes are observed on Jupiter.
More detailed information on the strange phenomenon will be presented on the Research and Development portal - R & D. CNews.
At present, Jupiter is clearly visible in Russia when the Sun sets in the East, not high above the horizon, as an exceptionally bright "star". The disk of the giant planet and its four Galilean satellites are already distinguishable through binoculars.
Even in a small amateur telescope, large cloud structures in the planet's atmosphere are clearly visible.

Strange "pipes" Of Mars: Natural Anomaly Or Something Else?
Imagine a huge network of strange large "pipes" located in some parts of the Martian landscape. Maybe these are the creations of the ancient Martian civilization, along which they moved as if along a highway? Or is it just a curious and rare, but completely natural phenomenon of the Martian surface? One way or another, disputes about these unusual objects are still ongoing. It all began after the Mars Global Surveyor, launched by NASA in November 1996, began sending
Temperature Anomaly Found In Cheops Pyramid
The speed of the heating and cooling phases makes it possible to test a number of hypotheses: about hollow places in pyramids, internal air currents or heterogeneous building materials. A pyramid scanning project in the city of Giza has revealed a temperature anomaly in a number of structures, including the largest of them, the Pyramid of Cheops (known in the country as Khufu), according to the Egyptian Ministry of Antiquities. The statement notes that the first phase of the project revealed "a particularly visible (anomaly) in
Students Discovered A Magnetic Anomaly At The Dyatlov Pass
The magnetic anomaly was discovered by students of the Perm State National Research University (PSNIU) during their training practice in the Ural Mountains at the Dyatlov pass, where a group of tourists died more than half a century ago, the university reports. '' The route of the group, headed by the Honored Traveler of Russia, Associate Professor of the Faculty of Geography of Perm State National Research University, Andrei Korolev, ran through the territory of the Sverdlovsk Region from the city of Ivdel along the valley of the Auspiya River to the Dyatlov Pass and Poyasovy Ridge to
The Mysterious Green Anomaly On Jupiter
In the NASA image of Jupiter, "virtual archaeologists" saw something anomalous. The full snapshot can be seen at this link. The object that meticulous researchers saw is very tiny and can only be seen by greatly enlarging the upper right part of the photo. Something similar to a large green worm hovers above the surface of Jupiter and this anomaly is present in only one place in the photograph. What is it? This photo of Jupiter was taken by the interplanetary station Juno
Residents Of The Village Of Asanovo Discovered A Natural Anomaly In The Garden
A plot of abnormally warm land appeared in the garden of one of the residents of the village of Asanovo, Cherdaklinsky district, Ulyanovsk region. According to the press secretary, at the beginning of winter, the residents of the house discovered that the snow in a small area of the garden does not lie, but melts even in severe frosts. And if you dig a hole in the ground, then steam comes out from there. The owner of the site is already making plans to use the suddenly appeared `` greenhouse ''.
