The Great Red Spot has been shrinking since it was spotted in the 1800s. It’s currently 1.1 times as wide as Earth —about the size of the long-lost Permanent Spot.

The Great Red Spot is a massive vortex within Jupiter’s atmosphere that is about 10,159 miles (16,350 kilometers) wide, which is similar to Earth’s diameter, according to NASA.

Researchers studying the origin of Jupiter's Great Red Spot suspect it's not the same storm observed by Cassini in 1665. Instead, this Great Red Spot likely formed at least 190 years ago.

Jupiter’s Great Red Spot, on the other hand, may date back by at least 190 years. The Great Red Spot is also much larger than its older counterpart, extending over 200 miles (350 kilometers).

NASA’s Juno spacecraft captured a stunning portrait of a storm much larger than Earth that has been raging for hundreds of years. The image of Jupiter’s Great Red Spot was taken from about ...

The Great Red Spot of Jupiter is one of the solar system’s most astonishing marvels. An elliptical storm with inky swirls of burnt orange and dulled copper, it is longer than the Earth is wide ...

The Great Red Spot is a gargantuan, high-pressure vortex called an anticyclonic storm that has been raging in Jupiter's southern hemisphere for at least 350 years.

The Great Red Spot on Jupiter, the largest known storm in the solar system, is apparently shifting shapes, according to a recent report. A 90-day study, from December to March, of Jupiter using the ...

The scale is incredible; the Great Red Spot is a vast anticyclonic storm that's currently 7,767 miles (12,500 km) across, while tiny Amalthea is pictured 112,500 miles (181,000 km) above Jupiter's ...
