Mystery Behind Jupiter Great Red Spot Unveiled

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 actually not as old as was believed. Giovanni Cassini named one such 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 larger spot on Jupiter. Which he might have named Permanent Spot. Research has been going on about it since 1600 AD to find out when it actually existed and how it was formed.

According to a statement from study co-author Agustin Sanchez-Lavega at the University of the Basque Country, by observing its size and movements they concluded that it is highly unlikely that the current Great Red Spot is the same permanent spot seen by Cassini. Was. It has been 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.

Regarding the Great Red Spot, scientists have concluded that it must have been formed by the rise of a large storm. As is also seen on planet Saturn. The discovery found that under certain wind conditions, a storm cell would have formed which captured 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 specifically to gather information about the planet Jupiter. There is a possibility that soon scientists will gather accurate information about this spot also.
