James Webb, although he is so famous, we still have Hubble that continues to fight and this time it is fighting with one of the enigmas of the solar system, the great red spot on Jupiter, because astronomers have observed this great red spot with Hubble which is an anticyclone large enough to swallow the earth, it is larger than the earth.
At least it is known that it has existed for about 150 years with reliable astronomical observations. Eye, there are previous astronomical observations from the time of Casini in the 17th century, the new Hubble observations were compiled for 90 days, what you are seeing in the video is that compressed compilation of 90 days, between December 2023 and March 2024 when the Giant planet was at a distance of between 632 to 820 million kilometers of the earth.
What the images reveal is that the great red spot is not as stable as we thought. Recent data show that it moves like a bowl of gelatin. Another finding is that the winds and the great red spot on Jupiter are accelerating. and we don't know why, it is new data from the great red spot, but there are a lot of mysteries.
How it originated, where does the energy that moves the Red Spot come from, why in that place, the place, is not a trivial question, it is not a minor question, there are parts of a planet that have a special strategic significance for certain functions, for example, the poles of Jupiter and Saturn, we know that extraordinary phenomena occur there, in Jupiter the giant cyclones or in Saturn the hexagon of the North Pole.
We know that the poles mark the axis of rotation of a planet, therefore, they are special places where special things happen, it seems logical. The same thing happens with the equator of the planets, for example, the rings of the planets are formed around their equator, but This spot is not located either on the equator or at the poles, it is south of the equator at a point that does not seem to have any special relevance, why there, where does the energy that moves this spot come from and there is another mystery, what happened? that the Italian astronomer Giovanni Domenico Casini saw in Jupiter in 1665, because until recently it was considered that his, his observation, was the first and well the first reliable of the great red spot, there is another previous one by a Briton, but Casini's It was supposed to be the reliable one but now a group of Spanish researchers have shown that what Casini saw must have been another giant storm or something else.
Because what we know as the Great Red Spot apparently formed later about 190 years ago and despite being younger than previously believed, the storm is still the largest and longest-lived vortex known in the entire world. the solar system and the most enigmatic.
