Jupiter’s Great Red Spot Shrinks and Rounds Over Centuries, New Study Reveals

Researchers have recently uncovered the evolving mystery of Jupiter’s Great Red Spot. Initially recorded at 24,233 miles wide in 1879, it has since diminished to a current width of 8,700 miles, adopting a more circular shape over time.

The monumental storm on Jupiter, observed since the 1600s and once larger than Earth, has intrigued scientists with its longevity and transformation. Contrary to earlier beliefs that it is a centuries-old phenomenon, possibly first noted by astronomer Giovanni Cassini, recent studies suggest this might not be the case.

Historical analysis indicates the Great Red Spot as we know it today has existed for over 190 years, undergoing significant changes in size and shape. Findings from the Juno mission bolstered this insight, highlighting the storm’s relatively shallow vertical extent compared to its horizontal spread.

Researchers, using simulations, have also dismissed the theory that the Great Red Spot originated from a colossal superstorm, proposing instead that unique atmospheric conditions on Jupiter could have fostered the formation of this persistent storm system.
