A New Jupiter Oval Rotates

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

Even Jupiter can do the twist. Large cloud systems on Jupiter rotate, and the newly formed oval pictured here is no different. This new oval formed from the collision of two smaller ovals, an event similar to two large storms merging into one huge hurricane. Even this new swirling storm, however, is small compared to Jupiter's Great Red Spot. The Galileo spacecraft captured these images.
