As a reminder of the type of images we are used to getting from the Hubble ACS, the image below was released in late April and shows Jupiter's famous Great Red Spot, along with a more recently formed Red Spot Jr.
Red Sport Jr, officially known as Oval BA formed from three white storms in Jupiter's atmosphere which merged in 1998. In late 2005 this white spot started to change colour, eventually turning the same colour as the 'Great Red Spot' in February 2006.
