A raging red swirling storm located in Jupiter's upper atmosphere. The storm has been observed for the last 300 years, and appears to rotate countercloskwise like a hurricane once every six days. During the 1979 Voyager II encounter with Jupiter, the Red Spot measured 10,000 by 20,000 kilometers.
Jupiter's Great Red Spot is a huge, long-lasting storm in the atmosphere of the Southern Hemisphere of Jupiter (near the equator). Its color is actually pink to orange. This whirlwind varies in size and color from year to year. It is about 17,000 miles (28,000 km) long and 9,000 miles (14,000 km) wide; it is the biggest storm in this solar system. It is so big that the Earth would fit in it with room to spare. It was discovered in 1664 by Robert Hooke.
A semi-permanent feature in the upper atmosphere of Jupiter, apparently a sort of cyclone, several times larger than the Earth.
A large, high-pressure, long-lived storm system visible in the atmosphere of Jupiter. The Red Spot is roughly twice the size of the Earth.
Thel large red storm going around like a tornado on Jupiter.
A huge colorful swirl of gases that spin counterclockwise on Jupiter.
a large storm raging on the planet Jupiter
A high altitude storm cloud on Jupiter that was first observed in the 1600s
A large oval on the southern edge of Jupiter's South Equatorial Belt. The Great Red Spot is a high pressure anticyclone which varies in color from pale yellow to crimson.
A large, reddish storm in the atmosphere of Jupiter that is shaped like an oval.
A circulating storm located in Jupiter's upper atmosphere. The storm, which rotates around the planet in six days, is the width of two to three Earths. Galileo first observed the spot in the 17th century.
The Great Red Spot is a persistent cyclonic storm on the planet Jupiter, 22° south of the equator, which has lasted for at least 176 years, and possibly as long as 340 years. The storm is large enough to be visible through Earth-based telescopes. It was probably first observed by Giovanni Domenico Cassini, who described it around 1665.
