Jupiter’s Great Red Spot, the solar system’s largest storm, wiggles like gelatin and contracts like a stress ball, new observations from Hubble Space Telescope find.

A sequence of images captured by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope showed how much the giant storm changed shape as it traveled within the planet’s atmosphere.

Jupiter's famous Great Red Spot has been under constant observation since the 19th century, but this new development is unprecedented.

If the moon is said to be made of cheese (it’s not), then Jupiter’s famed Great Red Spot (GRS) is more like a bowl of JELL-O. A new look at this enormous anticyclone on our solar system’s largest planet shows it jiggling.

Great Ball of Fire Jupiter's Giant Red Spot (GRS) is large enough to swallow Earth — and as new imagery from Hubble suggests, it's a lot weirder than previously thought. Between December 2023 and March 2024,

The reason behind this unexpected shapeshifting is unknown, but it revealed that the famous red storm is not as stable as it seemed. The results of the Hubble observations are detailed in a study published Wednesday in The Planetary Science Journal.
