Jupiter Great Red Spot: A severe storm came on Jupiter, wind blowing at a speed of 640 km per hour, Watch Video
Jupiter, the biggest planet in our Solar System, has always been an inexplicable puzzle to astronomers. Many events happening on the surface of this planet remain a mystery even today. Meanwhile, the Hubble Telescope of the US space agency has detected a red spot (Great Red Spot) on the surface of the world Jupiter. This red spot is truly a giant storm on Jupiter.
With the assistance of Hubble Space Telescope, scientists have told that the speed of this storm on Jupiter is increasing continuously. Data sent from the telescope showed that the winds are intensifying within the outermost region of the red spot seen on Jupiter's surface. the newest hurricane reports showed that the typical wind speed within this spot increased by 8 percent from 2009 to 2020.
Like the speed of an advancing race car driver, the winds in the outermost "lane" of #Jupiter's Great Red Spot are accelerating – a discovery only made possible by #Hubble, which has monitored the planet for more than a decade. (1/7) pic.twitter.com/XT7CriRfq0

Scientists have also told that the wind speed is incredibly low within the interior of this red spot. This Great Red Spot has been seen as fierce on the Planet Jupiter for over 150 years. These red clouds are moving counter-clockwise at a speed of 600 kilometers per hour.
Michael Wong of the University of California, Berkeley said that after I saw the initial results from the Hubble Telescope, I asked 'Does this make sense?' nobody has ever seen this before. But, this is something that only Hubble can do. Hubble's longevity and its lenses are proving to be helpful in bringing the information of this mystery to Earth.
The Great Red Spot is the king of storms in our Solar System. A recent flyby of the Juno spacecraft helped scientists determine that the storm's roots extend a minimum of 320 kilometers into Jupiter's atmosphere. For comparison, a typical tropical cyclone on Earth spans only about 15 kilometers. Astronomers have noted that it's shrinking in size. Studying the previous few storms, it's been found that it's moving from oval to circular.
