Space probe captures amazing data from Jupiter's Giant Storm

This full-disc image of Jupiter was taken on 21 April 2014 with Hubble’s Wide Field Camera 3. Image credit: NASA / ESA / A. Simon, Goddard Space Flight Center.

Jupiter’s Great Red Spot — a spinning, cyclone-like storm just south of the planet’s equator — has been monitored since 1830 and has possibly existed for more than 350 years.

Measuring 10,000 miles (16,000 km) in width as of April 3, 2017, the storm is 1.3 times as wide as Earth. In modern times, it has appeared to be shrinking.

Recently a spacecraft was sent to observe more makeup of this giant storm. Below is a animation/simulated flight into, and then out of, Jupiter’s upper atmosphere. The animation is made up of real images from the spacecraft.
