It is the most recognizable feature on Jupiter, owing to its red-orange color whose origin is still unknown. Located 22 degrees south of Jupiter's equator, it produces wind-speeds up to 432 km/h (268 mph). It was first observed in September 1831, with 60 recorded observations between then and 1878, when continuous observations began.
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 Great Red Spot (GRS) is a persistent anticyclonic storm, 22° south of Jupiter's equator; observations from Earth establish a minimum storm lifetime of 350 years. [ 84 ] [ 85 ] A storm was described as a "permanent spot" by Gian Domenico Cassini after observing the feature in July 1665 with his instrument-maker Eustachio Divini . [ 86 ]
Two high-end EF3/EF2 (respectively) tornadoes produced by the same supercell, tracked through several municipalities (Ciríaco, Tapejara, Água Santa, Sarandi) of Rio Grande do Sul, causing two deaths and leaving more than a thousand damaged homes. 24 municipalities were affected by severe thunderstorms and more than 2,630 homes were affected.
Jupiter’s striking Great Red Spot has puzzled astronomers for years. Now, they think they know just how old it is and how the cyclone formed in Jupiter’s atmosphere.
Astronomers used the James Webb Space Telescope to newly detect a high-speed jet stream over the equator of Jupiter. Webb telescope spots never-before-seen feature in Jupiter’s atmosphere Skip ...
The 2003 Halloween solar storms had a peak Dst index of −383 nT, although a second storm on 20 November 2003 reached −422 nT while not reaching G5-class. [ 16 ] [ 17 ] The March 1989 geomagnetic storm had a peak Dst index of −589 nT, [ 18 ] while the May 1921 geomagnetic storm has been estimated to have had a peak Dst index of −907 ± ...
The Great Red Spot on Jupiter is, by far, the largest extraterrestrial anticyclone (or cyclone) known. The Great Red Spot is located in the southern hemisphere and has wind speeds greater than any storm ever measured on Earth. New data from Juno found that the storm penetrates into Jupiter's atmosphere about 320 km (200 mi).
