Mystery Behind Jupiter Great Red Spot Unveiled

There is a big red spot on Jupiter, which scientists have known about for a long time. But they did not know how and why it was formed. Now, a new report says that scientists have got important information about it. Scientists say that it is a storm on Jupiter that has been rising for more than 300 years. It is said to be wider than the Earth.

Newsweek The report says that the Great Red Spot (GRS) is a shape created by a storm that appears as a spot. According to research published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, astronomers have come to the conclusion that it is not as old as it was believed to be. Giovanni Cassini had named a similar spot as Permanent Spot hundreds of years ago. He was the first person to observe the Great Red Spot. It is located in the southern hemisphere of Jupiter.

Some people also believe that Cassini may have seen another, even bigger spot on Jupiter. Which he may have named Permanent Spot. Research on it has been going on since 1600 AD to find out how long it actually existed and how it was formed.

According to a statement by Agustin Sanchez-Lavega, co-author of the study at the University of the Basque Country, by observing its shape and activities, they concluded that it is very unlikely that the current Great Red Spot was the permanent spot seen by Cassini. It is said that the permanent spot probably disappeared between 1800 and 1900. Therefore, the Great Red Spot must have been born about 200 years ago. Vertically, it is 500 kilometers long.

Scientists have concluded that the Great Red Spot must have been formed by the rise of a large storm, like the one seen on Saturn. Research has found that under certain wind conditions, a storm cell must have formed, which trapped the winds and the Proto Great Red Spot was born. However, astronomers are studying more about this red spot. NASA’s Juno mission has also set out to gather information about Jupiter. It is likely that soon scientists will gather accurate information about this spot as well.
