The giant red stain on Jupiter is about to disappear

Astronomers say the giant storm on Jupiter, known as the "Big Red Spot", is slowly melting over time.

As seen from Earth, the storm, which had existed on Jupiter's atmosphere for hundreds of years, began to show signs of melting as air flow began to escape the edge of the Great Red Spot .

The famous Big Red spot on Jupiter has a phenomenon of dissolution.

These gases last for about a week, according to the British Astronomical Society John Rogers. Until 2017, this is still a very rare phenomenon.

To date, astronomers have noted a greater occurrence in both the size and frequency of this phenomenon. Some airflows have a length of up to 10,000 meters.

According to NASA scientist Glen Orton, the collision between the Big Red Spot and a southern storm could be the cause.

Another reason for this is the slowing and shrinking of the storm that has existed for hundreds of years.

According to NASA's Motivational Laboratory report, this capital-sized storm may disappear completely in the next 20 years.

This red stain has persisted for centuries.

In an earlier interview, Mr. Orton said the storm had shrunk by about 17 degrees since the 1800s. At that time, the Great Red Spot was about 56,000 kilometers or four times the diameter of the Earth. Currently, the Big Red spot is only 1.3 times the diameter of the Earth.

Scientists will soon have the opportunity to study this phenomenon more thoroughly when NASA's Juno spy satellite flies through the planet in July. Juno's primary mission is to observe the Big Red Spot by gravitational sensors. force and determine how big the storm is.

Jupiter has 2.5 times the weight of all the planets in the solar system and has tens of thousands of kilometers of atmosphere with countless special meteorological phenomena.

Jupiter turns one round in just 10 hours due to its large size and fast rotation speed.

Despite being around for centuries, Mr. Orton said the most powerful storm in the solar system will eventually disappear.'Big red marks will become a big Red Circle in the next 10 to 20 years. After that, it will become a Red Mark of memories , 'Mr. Orton predicted.
