Jupiter 05/27 GRS: HUGE FLAKING!! by Christopher Go
The GRS had active lately so I adjusted my schedule to image it.  
This evening, I had to image early with Jupiter around 40deg altitude.  Seeing was good and transparency excellent!

The region around the GRS is again very active.  
Note the HUGE FLAKING on the f side of the GRS.  
The next few days will be interesting as the oval embedded on this flake moves around the GRS.    
Note also there a small red oval to the east of the GRS embedded on the reddish "flake" material.  
This oval is very bright in methane band!  
The red stream that seems to connect this red oval to the new flake is still visible and very prominent in methane band!   
The halo of the GRS has swollen.

The wake of the GRS is also very turbulent.  
Is the wake of the GRS interacting with the ovals intensifying it as it passes between the GRS and the wake?
