For the first time in history, astronomers have witnessed the birth of a new red spot on the giant planet, which is located half a billion miles away. The storm is roughly one-half the diameter of its bigger and legendary cousin, the Great Red Spot. Researchers suggest that the new spot may be related to a possible major climate change in Jupiter’s atmosphere. These images were taken with Hubble’s Advanced Camera for Surveys on April 8 and 16, 2006. See the full release, including: More Images Fast Facts Related Links And more!
