Jupiter's Great Red Spot is the largest storm in the solar system and has been raging for hundreds of years. We explore the phenomenon in more detail here.
NASA's Juno spacecraft sweeps over Jupiter's Great Red Spot and makes a 3D map of the giant storm. The findings could shed light on gas giant exoplanets in distant solar systems.
The biggest storm in our solar system is getting wilder: Winds in Jupiter's great red spot are getting faster, astronomers reported in a new study.
Jupiter’s Great Red Spot, the humungous storm that has roiled the gas giant for up to 300 years, heats the atmosphere above it to scorching temperatures, new findings show.
The Great Red Spot is a storm roughly 10,000 miles (16,000 km) wide churning in Jupiter's southern hemisphere, boasting crimson-colored clouds that spin counterclockwise at high speeds.
A ferocious storm has battered Jupiter for at least 188 years. From Earth, it is observed as red swirling clouds racing counter-clockwise in what is known as the planet's "Great Red Spot." ...
Jupiter's Great Red Spot, a giant storm, is large enough to swallow earth. NASA, ESA, A. Simon (Goddard Space Flight Center) and M.H. Wong (University of California, Berkeley) ...
Jupiter's Great Red Spot is such a crazy, turbulent storm that it creates sound waves that travel hundreds of miles up and actually heat the planet's upper atmosphere. The Great Red Spot is a vast ...
