It may be hard to imagine the scale and intensity of the storm. On Earth, the most powerful hurricanes recorded were a mere 1,000 miles wide compared to the 10,000-mile-wide Great Red Spot.

Using Hubble's high-resolution imaging capabilities, astronomers created a time-lapse movie revealing the GRS's squiggly motion and size fluctuations.

Chief among these is the Great Red Spot (GRS), a long-lived anticyclonic storm whose evolution encapsulates many of the processes at work in Jupiter’s atmospheric dynamics.
