• Hubble Tracks Jupiter's Stormy Weather 15.3.24 VIDEO: The Hubble Space Telescope images used in this animated science visualization present a full rotation of the giant planet Jupiter. This is not a real-time movie. Instead, Hubble snapshots of the colorful planet, taken January 5-6, 2024, have been photo-mapped onto a sphere, and the model is then rotated in animation. The planet's real rotation rate is nearly 10 hours, which is easily plotted by watching the Great Red Spot come and go with e

For over 400 years, a massive storm has been raging across Jupiter — so large it could swallow Earth whole. Known as the Great Red Spot, this swirling giant has winds over 430 km/h, faster than any hurricane ever recorded on our planet. First spotted in 1665 by astronomer Giovanni Cassini, the storm has baffled scientists for centuries. Why has it lasted so long? And why is it now slowly shrinking? In this short documentary, we zoom in on the most powerful storm in the solar system, explore its
