Jupiter: When Storms Collide

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

In February, two of Jupiter's long-lived white ovals, storm systems visible since the 1930s, merged. This collision likely formed the solar system's second-largest storm, after the Great Red Spot. The event happened while Jupiter and Earth were on opposite sides of the Sun, so details of the merger are unknown.
