Jupiter and the Red Spots
Jupiter's Great Red Spot is a storm that has raged for over 300 years. In 2006, another red spot, dubbed Red Spot Jr., appeared. This sharp image from the Hubble Space Telescope shows both salmon-colored storms, with Red Spot Jr. about half the size of its famous predecessor.
