White Oval Clouds on Jupiter
Jupiter's atmosphere is home to persistent storm systems, like these white ovals located near the Great Red Spot. These high-pressure storms have been observed since the 1930s, and the Great Red Spot itself has lasted for at least 300 years. Scientists are still studying why these Jovian storms can endure for such long periods.
