Jupiter, Great Red Spot and Hubble Telescope
Jupiter's Great Red Spot is being squeezed, Hubble Telescope finds — and nobody knows why (video)
Jupiter's famous Great Red Spot has been under constant observation since the 19th century, but this new development is unprecedented.
Hubble Telescope Shows Great Red Spot of Jupiter Bouncing Like a Kickball
The Great Red Spot of Jupiter is one of the solar system’s most astonishing marvels. An elliptical storm with inky swirls of burnt orange and dulled copper, it is longer than the Earth is wide, and its winds screech through the tops of the planet’s clouds at 400 miles per hour.
NASA's Hubble Telescope captures Jupiter's Great Red Spot acting like a "giant stress ball"
The Great Red Spot is an anticyclone, "a long lasting area of high pressure on Jupiter creating a persistent storm"
Jupiter’s Great Red Spot Is Moving In a ‘Very Unexpected’ Way, Bewildering Astronomers
Jupiter’s Great Red Spot is a high-pressure, rotating vortex that has stood the test of time. The cloud tops of this storm have been seen from Earth for more than 150 years. That the storm has morphed since then isn’t a surprise. But the new behavior is.
Jupiter’s Great Red Spot unstable, ‘jiggling like a bowl of gelatin’
High-resolution images taken by the Hubble Space Telescope of Jupiter’s Great Red Spot have revealed that it’s not as stable as we thought. Instead, the Spot is squeezing in and out, with NASA describing it as “jiggling like a bowl of gelatin.
Jupiter’s Great Red Spot Is Shapeshifting in Ways ‘Never Identified Before’
Hubble has been observing the Great Red Spot shrinking over the past 10 years, and the team behind the study predicts that it will become more stable as it gets smaller in size. “Right now it’s over-filling its latitude band relative to the wind field. Once it shrinks inside that band the winds will really be holding it in place,” Simon said.
Jupiter’s Great Red Spot jiggles like JELL-O
By contrast, the planet Neptune has dark spots that can drift widely in latitude without strong jet streams holding them in place. Jupiter’s GRS has been at a southern latitude, trapped between the jet streams, for as long as Earth-bound telescopes have been observing it.
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope spots Jupiter's great Red Spot shaking like...
Recent observations from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, based on data collected over 90 days from December 2023 to March 2024, revealed that the Great Red Spot (GRS) is not as stable as previously thought.
NASA's Hubble watches Jupiter's Great Red Spot behave like a stress ball
Astronomers have observed Jupiter's legendary Great Red Spot (GRS), an anticyclone large enough to swallow Earth, for at least 150 years. But there are always new surprises -- especially when NASA's Hubble Space Telescope takes a close-up look at it.
New Hubble images show Jupiter’s Great Red Spot wiggles like gelatin
Jupiter’s Great Red Spot, the solar system’s largest storm, wiggles like gelatin and contracts like a stress ball, new observations from Hubble Space Telescope find.
Jupiter’s Great Red Spot Enigma: Unexplained Oscillations Baffle Astronomers
Jupiter's Titanic Storm Wiggles Like a Plate of Gelatin Jupiter's birthmark is an unbelievably huge storm that’s mysteriously crimson red in color. It looks like a bloodshot cycloptic eye staring back at Earth.
NASA's Europa Clipper spacecraft will scour Jupiter moon for the ingredients for life
Europa Clipper will peer beneath the moon’s icy crust where an ocean is thought to be sloshing fairly close to the surface ...
The largest storm in our solar system is moving unexpectedly, scientists say
Jupiter’s Great Red Spot, the solar system’s largest storm, wiggles like gelatin and contracts like a stress ball, new observations from Hubble Space Telescope find.
