                          Jupiter Rotates as Moons Orbit

      Explanation: Jupiter and its moons move like our Sun and its planets.   
      Similarly, Jupiter spins while its moons circle around. Jupiter's   
      rotation can be observed by tracking circulating dark belts and light   
      zones. The Great Red Spot, the largest storm known, rotates to become   
      visible after about 15 seconds in the 48-second time lapse video. The   
      video is a compilation of shorts taken over several nights last month   
      and combined into a digital recreation of how 24-continuous hours would   
      appear. Jupiter's brightest moons always orbit in the plane of the   
      planet's rotation, even as Earth's spin makes the whole system appear   
      to tilt. The moons Europa, Ganymede, and Io are all visible, with   
      Europa's shadow appearing as the icy Galilean moon crosses Jupiter's   
      disk. Jupiter remains near opposition this month, meaning that it is   
      unusually bright, near to its closest to the Earth, and visible nearly   
      all night long.
