Super typhoon on Jupiter is narrowing

On May 15, the United States announced a Jupiter telescope photo of Hubble telescope, showing a huge storm in Jupiter whose diameter at the end of the nineteenth century was about 40,000 kilometers, three times greater. Earth's circumference, shrinking.

Super storm is a big red circle on the picture.The left picture is taken in 2014, the top right is 1995, the middle right is 2009 and the bottom right is 2014

In the picture, the storm is a large red oval, surrounded by layers of light yellow, orange and white.

According to NASA, the winds of the storm are as strong as a few hundred kilometers per hour. The diameter of this super typhoon is getting smaller. In 1979, NASA's Voyager space probe recorded its image with a diameter of only about 22,500km

At present, the Hubble telescope shows that the storm is ever smaller, only about 16,000 km in diameter and its shape is getting rounder. Scientists don't know why the storm narrowed about 1,000km per year.

NASA is focusing its research to find out what is happening inside Jupiter's atmosphere, what causes the energy loss of the storm to make it smaller, changing its shape from oval to shape. round.
