The largest storm in our solar system is moving unexpectedly, scientists say

Jupiter’s Great Red Spot moves Like the solar system’s biggest kickball - Hawaii Tribune-Herald

The Great Red Spot of Jupiter is one of the solar system’s most astonishing marvels. An elliptical storm with inky swirls of burnt orange and dulled copper, it is longer than the Earth is wide, and its winds screech through the tops of the planet’s clouds at 400 mph.

NASA's Hubble watches Jupiter's Great Red Spot behave like a stress ball

Astronomers have observed Jupiter's legendary Great Red Spot (GRS), an anticyclone large enough to swallow Earth, for at least 150 years. But there are always new surprises -- especially when NASA's Hubble Space Telescope takes a close-up look at it. Hubble's new observations of the famous red storm, collected 90 days between December 2023 to March 2024, reveal that the GRS is not as stable as it might look. The recent data show the GRS jiggling…

Almost 200-year storm 'shape-shifts like a squeezed stress ball'

New observations of Jupiter's Great Red Spot captured by the Hubble Space Telescope show that the 190-year-old storm wiggles like gelatin and shape-shifts like a squeezed stress ball.The unexpected observations, which Hubble took over 90 days from December to March, show that the Great Red Spot isn't as stable as it appears, according to astronomers.The Great Red Spot, or GRS, is an anticyclone, or a large circulation of winds in Jupiter's atmos…

The largest storm in our solar system is moving unexpectedly, scientists say

Jupiter’s Great Red Spot, the solar system’s largest storm, wiggles like gelatin and contracts like a stress ball, new observations from Hubble Space Telescope find.

Jupiter’s Great Red Spot Moves Like the Solar System’s Biggest Kickball

The Great Red Spot of Jupiter is one of the solar system’s most astonishing marvels. An elliptical storm with inky swirls of burnt orange and dulled copper, it is longer than the Earth is wide, and its winds screech through the tops of the planet’s clouds at 400 miles per hour. The spot may seem like an unchanging fixture from a distance. But scientists have now discovered that it is jiggling and changing shape, repeatedly elongating and then co…
