The Shrinking Great Red Spot of Jupiter: New Study Suggests Smaller Storms Are Starving the Iconic Anticyclonic Storm

Broke On: Wednesday, 17 July 2024 A team of researchers led by Caleb Keaveney from Yale University, North Carolina State University, and the University of Louisville discovered that smaller storms may be causing the Great Red Spot on Jupiter to shrink by blocking its access to essential nutrients. The findings suggest that these interactions could explain why the size of this iconic anticyclonic storm has significantly decreased from 40 degrees of longitude in the late 19th century to just 14 degrees today. The Great Red Spot, a high-pressure region with counterclockwise rotation and rosy ammonia cloud tops, is known for its mysterious origins and size larger than Earth.
