BLIP'S DAILY TRIVIA QUESTION: SEPTEMBER 22ND 2024
Jupiter's Great Red Spot, at its longest axis, is currently approximately how long?
A) 21,200 MILES LONG
B) 16,800 MILES LONG
C) 8,700 MILES LONG
The Great Red Spot seen on Jupiter today may not be the same storm that was first discovered centuries ago. A new study argues that the storm, first seen in the 1600s in early telescope observations, may have disappeared and later reformed, based on more than 100 years of observations of Jupiter in the 18th and 19th centuries that did not record it. Scientists noted that, in recent decades, the current Great Red Spot has shrunk, and speculate that it, too, may disappear at some point and reform later.

An article published in the journal "Nature Astronomy" reports the identification of structures in the planet Jupiter's upper atmosphere above the Great Red Spot, the iconic storm larger than the Earth. A team of researchers led by Henrik Melin of the British University of Leicester used observations conducted with the James Webb Space Telescope to obtain new details of that area.
