There is a giant storm in our solar system, but we were wrong about what we knew about it.

A scientific team has discovered something truly amazing on Jupiter

Jupiter is a truly interesting planet. It has satellites that may harbor life, and even strange volcanic lakes that still remain a mystery to us all. Due to these unique characteristics, it is not surprising that scientific research into its nature is carried out regularly. Among them, special attention is drawn to: a storm that has been orbiting the planet for centuriesor so we thought until now.

In an in-depth article prepared by Universe Today, we were able to discover with complete certainty how the oldest solar storm we have ever heard of on our planet works.

Jupiter’s Great Red Spot

Jupiter’s Great Red Spot (GRS) is a giant storm that astronomers have been observing since the 17th century. However, its formation and duration were the subject of debate, since it was not known for certain whether we have been observing the same phenomenon all this time.

GRS is huge anticyclonic vortexthat is, it rotates counterclockwise and is larger than the Earth, and the winds are the same as those of the Earth. exceed 400 km/h.

The earliest sightings of GRS date back to 1632, but it then disappeared from view for 118 years until it was observed again in the 19th century. Recent studies show that GRS what we see today may have been formed in the 19th century and developed to its present state.

Using sophisticated computer modeling, concluded that the GRS arose from an atmospheric cell that elongated and stretched uncontrollably. caused by a tropical disturbance in Jupiter’s winds.

Based on this research, we can conclude that the Great Red Spot is at least 190 years old, and it is a fascinating phenomenon that continues to intrigue scientists. Despite a long history of observations spanning over four centuries, there are still many unknowns about its formation and evolution, and researchers continue to study it to better understand it. this impressive vortex in the gas giant.

We still have a lot to learn about these and many other events in our solar system. We are surrounded by truly original planets, some of which even rain diamonds, which is truly paradoxical when you consider that this is one of the rarest and most desirable materials in our environment.
