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.
