-Jupiter at opposition, 2010. The South Equatorial Belt has disappeared. -Showing the shadow of Jupiter's Moon Io on the left. The Great Red Spot is the yellowish smudge on the far right, just below the South Equatorial Belt. The dark red smudge next to the GRS is another storm system that has been following the GRS recently. -The rings are almost edge-on this season. This occurs when Earth and Saturn are just about on the same plane in the Solar System.
