Super storm is enough to swallow 4 Earths

NASA has just released more images of "hurricane planet" Jupiter and super typhoon Great Red Spot which has been raging for several hundred years there.

Images of Jupiter - the solar system's largest planet - always show beautiful lines and a prominent red spot. The red spot is the Great Red Spot , the storm that has been recorded since the early telescope's approach to Jupiter.

Blending with countless other storms, this super typhoon created for Jupiter - the "stormy planet" of beautiful clouds in the distance when viewed from afar.

Recently, NASA's Juno spacecraft just got close to the planet and sent many images. Thereby, scientists calculate and discover that g.

Super Typhoon Great Red Spot was first recorded in 1831. A measurement many years later (around the end of the 19th century) showed that the giant storm had a diameter of 56,000km, enough to swallow 4 Earths. side by side. However, in 2017, it is estimated that this diameter is only 16,000km, or 1.3 times the diameter of the Earth. So far, it has continued to be narrowed.

Since 2014, super typhoon is increasingly visible under the lens with orange red. Scientists have not made an official conclusion on this but guess that the chemicals in the storm are flying higher and are affected by ultraviolet radiation, so they look darker.

NASA's Rick Cosentino, a member of Jupiter's research team, said that with this rate of decline, there may be many surprises happening in 5-10 years. While the Great Red Spot fades away, scientists hope that they will discover more exciting things when exploration devices are no longer impacted by super typhoons as they get too close.

NASA also revealed in April 2018, Juno approached approached Jupiter again. However, the images it recorded have not been collected and published.
