Great Red Spot

Enlarge picture
Enhanced view of Jupiter's Great Red Spot region. Below the Great Red Spot are two more cyclonic storms. The Voyager image was among the first to reveal the incredibly turbulent flow within Jupiter's zonal bands, which from afar look stable and placid.

Prominent oval feature, 14,000 km/8,500 mi wide and some 30,000 km/20,000 mi long, in the atmosphere of the planet Jupiter, south of its equator. It was first observed in 1664. Space probes show it to be an anticlockwise vortex of cold clouds, coloured possibly by phosphorus.
