包含南赤道带的木星云就不见了,天文学家说,云层它们只是被氨冰组成的白云所遮盖,漂浮在高于明显、带状棕色的云层的空间里。
Astronomers say they're simply being obscured by white clouds of ammonia ice, which float at higher altitudes than the belt's prominent brown clouds.
照片中显示一串深颜色的斑点已经透过氨云层,出现在木星的南赤道区,可见南赤道带正在逐渐复原了,今后木星会恢复为大家熟悉的样子。
The picture shows that a lot of dark-hued spots appeared in the SEB area through the ammonia cloud. It means that the SEB is recovering, the familiar Jupiter will come back.
