For most people, Jupiter's most recognizable and mysterious feature is the great red spot.

For centuries, astronomers have watched the storm, spin across the giant world's face.

But for planetary scientists, Jupiter's most distinctive mystery may be what's called the energy

crisis of its upper atmosphere. How do temperatures average about as warm as Earth's, even though

the enormous planet is more than five times further away from the sun? All the sun's giant planets

display this energy crisis, and those in chilly orbits around other stars probably have it too.

So where does the energy to heat their upper atmospheres come from? According to a new study,

the energy must originate within the giants, get transported upward, and become amplified by

turbulent storms. The finding appears in the journal Nature. This offers a new window into Jupiter's depths and should allow researchers to better understand

gas giant atmospheres throughout the universe, and it's all connected to the great red spot.

Astronomers have long known that auroral displays can heat Jupiter's poles, where charged particles

trapped in the planet's intense magnetic fields

slam into its upper atmosphere. Some theorists thought this auroral heating could flow toward the equator

to warm the planet's mid-latitudes. So, using NASA's infrared telescope facility, astronomers

observed Jupiter for nine hours, looking for these flows as thermal fluctuations in the

planet's upper atmosphere, but they saw none. Instead, in Jupiter's middle attitudes, they
