American space agency NASA has shared the picture of Jupiter taken by the spacecraft Juno on social media. The image of this spot on Jupiter, known as the Great Red Spot, is of a storm twice the size of Earth. The surprising thing is that this storm has existed since 350 years ago.
According to NASA, the spacecraft Juno has captured a true color photo of Jupiter's Great Red Spot from approximately 13,917 miles away. The size of the storm is gradually decreasing. Scientists believe the solar system's most famous storm has been brewing for decades. Although the storm appears small when measured by the Voyager spacecraft in 1979, the Great Red Spot is twice as large as Earth.
Some studies have shown that Jupiter is buried up to 300 km beneath the planet's clouds. Since there is no solid surface (land) on Jupiter, it takes a long time for the storm to weaken. It rotates at a speed of 643 km per hour. The Great Red Spot gives Jupiter's horizon a strange brown and red hue.
