Press release from St. Louis Science Center:
March 23, 2022
Jupiter's Great Red Spot is a massive, hurricane-like storm. This particular storm most likely formed in the 1870s. Transformations of this storm have been observed throughout its existence. The Great Red Spot changes size over time, growing and shrinking as it interacts with other storms in Jupiter's atmosphere. The color of the storm also varies from a light pink to a deep red, and scientists are still unsure why this change occurs.
