This animation takes the viewer on a simulated flight into, and then out of, Jupiter’s upper atmosphere at the location of the Great Red Spot.

The Great Red Spot, a storm bigger than Earth, has been raging on Jupiter for centuries. We’ve known its 2D size for a long time, but after a close flyover in July, Juno has finally revealed how ...

The gravity data revealed that the Great Red Spot’s atmospheric “roots” extend no more than 500 kilometers below the cloud tops of Jupiter. And it likely doesn’t have a sharp cut off at ...

Jupiter’s Great Red Spot is shrinking. The biggest windstorm in the solar system has been slowly declining for decades, but some new research may explain why. There are fewer storms feeding this ...

Concerns for the Great Red Spot’s “health” arose when astronomers realized that the cloud’s area in 1979 was only half of its size in the 1800s, as determined from old photographic plates.

Jupiter’s Great Red Spot is shrinking, but that does not necessarily mean that it is dying. Earlier this year, amateur astronomers caught the red spot seemingly starting to fall apart, with rose ...

Jupiter’s iconic Great Red Spot (GRS), a huge storm that has raged for nearly two centuries, is slowly disappearing. New research suggests that this colossal vortex, swirling at speeds up to 450 ...
