Jupiter, Great Red Spot and Hubble Telescope
NASA's Hubble Telescope captures Jupiter's Great Red Spot acting like a "giant stress ball"
The Great Red Spot is an anticyclone, "a long lasting area of high pressure on Jupiter creating a persistent storm"

Jupiter's famous Great Red Spot has been under constant observation since the 19th century, but this new development is unprecedented.
Jupiter’s Great Red Spot jiggles like JELL-O
By contrast, the planet Neptune has dark spots that can drift widely in latitude without strong jet streams holding them in place. Jupiter’s GRS has been at a southern latitude, trapped between the jet streams, for as long as Earth-bound telescopes have been observing it.
Jupiter’s Great Red Spot unstable, ‘jiggling like a bowl of gelatin’
High-resolution images taken by the Hubble Space Telescope of Jupiter’s Great Red Spot have revealed that it’s not as stable as we thought. Instead, the Spot is squeezing in and out, with NASA describing it as “jiggling like a bowl of gelatin.
Jupiter's Great Red Spot shows unexpected size changes
Astronomers have observed Jupiter's legendary Great Red Spot (GRS), an anticyclone large enough to swallow Earth, for at least 150 years. But there are always new surprises—especially when NASA's Hubble Space Telescope takes a close-up look at it.
Jupiter’s Great Red Spot Is Shapeshifting in Ways ‘Never Identified Before’
Hubble has been observing the Great Red Spot shrinking over the past 10 years, and the team behind the study predicts that it will become more stable as it gets smaller in size. “Right now it’s over-filling its latitude band relative to the wind field. Once it shrinks inside that band the winds will really be holding it in place,” Simon said.
Jupiter's Great Red Spot shrinks and expands like a stress ball
According to NASA, the Great Red Spot looks like a bloodshot cycloptic eye staring back at Earth. It is a massive storm, unique for its captivating crimson hue, that has been churning along Jupiter’s southern mid-latitude cloud belt for at least 150 years.
Jupiter's Great Red Spot Is Acting Very Strangely, Puzzling Scientists
Great Ball of Fire Jupiter's Giant Red Spot (GRS) is large enough to swallow Earth — and as new imagery from Hubble suggests, it's a lot weirder than previously thought. Between December 2023 and March 2024,

Recent observations from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, based on data collected over 90 days from December 2023 to March 2024, revealed that the Great Red Spot (GRS) is not as stable as previously thought.
New Hubble images show Jupiter’s Great Red Spot wiggles like gelatin
Jupiter’s Great Red Spot, the solar system’s largest storm, wiggles like gelatin and contracts like a stress ball, new observations from Hubble Space Telescope find.
Jupiter’s Great Red Spot Enigma: Unexplained Oscillations Baffle Astronomers
Jupiter's Titanic Storm Wiggles Like a Plate of Gelatin Jupiter's birthmark is an unbelievably huge storm that’s mysteriously crimson red in color. It looks like a bloodshot cycloptic eye staring back at Earth.
