Jupiter’s Great Red Spot is "Shaking" | Hubble Space Telescope

Jupiter’s iconic Great Red Spot, a storm larger than Earth, has fascinated astronomers for over 150 years. Thanks to NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope, we are now seeing this legendary storm in an entirely new light. Recent observations show that the Great Red Spot is wobbling and fluctuating in size.

Captured in high-resolution images over 90 days, Hubble’s data reveals the storm speeding up, slowing down, and changing shape—surprising even seasoned scientists. The team predicts that the storm will continue to shrink and eventually stabilize, but right now, it is still full of dynamic surprises.

Discover how these new findings could help us understand extreme weather not just on Jupiter, but on Earth and distant exoplanets too. Watch the video to see Hubble’s latest footage of this mysterious storm!
