Jupiter’s Great Red Spot, described as a “persistent anticyclonic storm” considerably larger than Earth—up to 3x as big—has been raging since at least 1831, when it was first discovered. Scientists believe this storm is a permanent and stable feature of our solar system’s largest planet; it’s so large you or I could spot it using nothing but an Earth-based telescope. But, as NASA researchers recently discovered, the giant planetary mole is actually shrinking at an alarming rate, suggesting that it might not be so permanent after all. technobuffalo/2014/05/18/jupiters-great-red-spot-is-shrinking-and-researchers-dont-know-why/
