- The Great Red Spot, the single largest, is the longest-lived storm in the entire Solar System.
- The great eyeball of Jupiter is revolving to gaze balefully out upon the cosmos.
- The Great Red Spot has significantly diminished since the first definite records of its existence in 1831.
- In the late 19th century, the Great Red Spot spanned a whopping 39,000 Km across.
- Now, it's just over a third of that width at 14,000 Km.
- Earth's 12,742-kilometer diameter could still fit inside.
- A massive anticyclone currently a little bit larger than Earth, with winds that howl around in an anticlockwise direction at up to 680 Km (425 miles) per hour.
