Hmmm.... good question. Some kind of activity on the interior (chemical interactions, Radioactive decay/heating)? Gravitational tug from its moons? Or maybe, despite Jupiter's distance, it still collects enough solar energy (due to its size) to fuel upper atmospheric activity like this. (I'm obviously only speculating)
F me, math is so much easier than this.
My ex-wife was general counsel for the Giant Magellan Telescope consortium until passing away last year. The size of this telescope, when completed, will dwarf every observatory telescope in the world.
