Jupiter's Great Red Spot: A 190-Year-Old Mystery Unveiled
Originally Published 1 year ago — by Gizmodo
New research suggests that the Great Red Spot observed by Giovanni Domenico Cassini in 1665 is not the same storm seen today on Jupiter. The original storm likely disappeared between the mid-18th and 19th centuries, and the current Great Red Spot has persisted for about 190 years. The study highlights the differences in size and duration between the two storms, with the current Great Red Spot being much larger and more enduring.
