Jupiter's Great Red Spot: New Findings Suggest It's Only 190 Years Old
TL;DR Summary
A new study suggests that Jupiter's Great Red Spot is not the same storm observed by Giovanni Cassini in 1665, known as the "Permanent Spot." The original spot likely disappeared between the mid-18th and 19th centuries, and the current Great Red Spot, discovered in 1831, is a newer storm. The research indicates that the Great Red Spot has been shrinking and may eventually disappear, similar to its predecessor.
