Jupiters Giant Red Spot is Acting Strange!

There's something weird happening to Jupiters Giant Red Spot storm. It's changing! What does this mean for the storm and will our view of Jupiter change forever?

A planet sized, four century old storm.
Man, fiction doesn't stand a chance against such magnificent poetry in reality.

Just wait until it opens that giant squid eye and blinks.

Jupiter looking at an Earth hurricane - aww, that's so cute.

i swear jupiter gets scarier every time i hear a new fact about it

It makes you appreciate even more how fortunate we are here on earth.

It actually has been going on for a lot longer. When they say "360 years", that means the time it was discovered as the technology wasn't available before then. It could have been going ever since Jupiter was originally formed. The change in speed and shape could just be part of a cycle and has happened many times before even though we never knew it existed.

It’s just incredible to look at an image of the red spot and realize you’re looking at something 3x the size of the whole planet earth

Jupiter is like our big brother always protecting us from shit they know would really mess us up, thank you bro :)

Imagine Jupiter had land and the eye of that storm was habitable. Perfect Sci-fi movie.

And that's just Jupiter, a giant in the solar system but a mere spec compared to cosmic scale.

A planet sized storm. That's fucking metal.

Well it may be speeding up to become a bigger force. Jupiter protects us from collisions. A lot of people dont know that. Its gravitational pull is so high it snatches everything that projects on our course of orbit. Whether scientific or religious, we owe Jupiter our thanks.

Earth: I have hurricanes

Jupiter: Hold my clouds.

Life on Earth would not exist if Jupiter wasn't taking all the cosmic hits. Mad respect

Christopher Nolan is filming a Jupiter movie on-location with practical effects

*Australian accent*
Jupiter to Earth - "You call that a hurricane? This is a hurricane"

[gangalo]

Thanks for zooming in and pointing at it with a giant arrow. Would’ve missed it otherwise 😂

Props to Jupiter for being a big protective sibling to all other planets in the Solar System, he’s really the type of guy we wouldn’t want to mess with. ✊🙏

It's an eerie feeling viewing this monster planet through a high powered telescope

I like to think that while we work, sleep and eat, this storm just carries on, minute after minute, outliving everything we know.
