Images from Hubble Space Telescope in 1995, 2009 and 2014 show that Jupiter's Great Red Spot Is Smaller than Ever Seen Before. The storm was once so large that three Earths would fit inside it, now is only the width of one Earth. Scientists do not know why this legendary storm is changing.
Marea Pată Roșie de pe Jupiter se micșorează
Imaginile obținute de telescopul spațial Hubble în 1995, 2009 și 2014 arată că Marea Pată Roșie de pe Jupiter este mai mică decât până acum. În trecut, furtuna era de trei ori mai mare decât Terra, acum este doar de dimensiunea Pământului. http://scinews.ro/marea-pata-rosie-de-pe-jupiter-se-micsoreaza/
