Scientists Are Stumped! Something Strange Is Happening Inside Jupiter's Red Spot

The Great Red Spot on the planet Jupiter is the largest storm on any planet in the entire solar system, in the past it was even bigger than now. The sheer depth of it is hard to grasp. To give you an idea, it’s like having around 45 Mariana Trenches stacked on top of each other!

On Earth, hurricanes quickly lose their strength when moving over land, but on Jupiter, there is no land, and so there isn’t any friction to slow down the massive storm. It has been raging for centuries, but it looks like something strange is happening to the Great Red Spot.

What on Earth is going on with the comment section here? Why are there so many comments saying outrageously inaccurate and baselessly speculative things? I do not understand.

The hyperbolic thumbnail picture is making me want to unsubscribe. Have some damn integrity.

The Great Red Spot on Jupiter: This is the largest storm in the solar system, once much larger than it is now. The Mariana Trench is about 45 deep, stacked on top of each other, with a diameter of about 10, 000 miles (16, 000 km). Over the past century or so, the Great Red Spot has shrunk significantly, changing size, shape and color. From an initial size three times the diameter of the Earth, it is now only about 1/3 of its previous size.
Because Jupiter's atmosphere has no solid surface, there is no friction to slow the storm down. The storm has lasted for centuries but now there are signs of instability. Several factors such as changes in chemicals in the atmosphere and interactions with smaller storms could be the reason for the Great Red Spot shrinking. It's sad to think that such an iconic storm could disappear in our lifetime. The dynamics of nature are truly fascinating and unpredictable

54:18- Really love to see the FM signals, especially a comparison with those on earth, along with the giant's moons.

"... on Jupiter there is no land ...' that we know of ;)

Why not put an individual high quality eye on each planet. I think in 10 years we would have better clarity.

So detailed video about an our😮 about mighty Jupiter

[dmitryshusterman]

Good doc, but the soundtrack is really annoying, distracting and unnecessary

[markwoods]

That's just because they get better cameras every time thay look 😅

Guess the destroyer is almost repaired

When Jupiter red spot disappeared, we all die. The end…

I wonder if Jupiter could be our sun's binary twin that never ignited.

Olympus mons is the biggest volcano on Mars, and it is at 19.5 degrees latitude.
Hawaii is the biggest volcano on earth and it is at 19.5 degrees latitude.
The giant red spot is the biggest thing on Jupiter, and it is at 19.5 degrees

Roger of mudfossil university has information on Jupiter k

Your video talks meaningless- all assumptions. why give such title which has no meaning

[rachellee]

Oh my, I assumed this was the Destiny - Mr Steven Bonnell so I've never bothered to watch even though I totally love space stuff. Subscribe and like buttons have been smashed!

Something strange is about to happen to Earth. Look at the moon

[WizardofoOZeAU]

ChatGPT regurgitated factoids imparting little actual knowledge and understanding.

The sun.
The sun creates tension.
It is al but unclear

[dereknelson]

Can't figure out out own planet.... these people are wrong except for making sense of pictures.
