The winds of the Great Red Spot consistently blow more than 200 miles per hour, but they can reach speeds over 400 mph further out. Since the Spot’s winds blow in a counterclockwise direction ...

Jupiter’s striking Great Red Spot has puzzled astronomers for years. Now, they think they know just how old it is and how the cyclone formed in Jupiter’s atmosphere.

The Great Red Spot is our solar system’s largest vortex (SN: 12/12/17). Located in Jupiter’s Southern Hemisphere, the windstorm’s gusts exceed 600 kilometers per hour.

When NASA’s Juno spacecraft (which entered Jupiter’s orbit in 2016) flew over the Great Red Spot in February and July 2019, it did so to learn just how deep that 10,000-mile wide vortex ...

What we do know for sure about the Great Red Spot is that it's shrinking. An 1879 observation placed the size of the spot at 24,200 miles (39,000 kilometers) along its longest axis.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Jupiter’s Great Red Spot, a storm so big it could swallow Earth, extends surprisingly deep beneath the planet’s cloud tops, scientists reported Thursday. NASA’s Juno ...

NASA's Juno spacecraft sweeps over Jupiter's Great Red Spot and makes a 3D map of the giant storm. The findings could shed light on gas giant exoplanets in distant solar systems.
