Small Storms Near Great Red Spot
NASA/JPL/University of Arizona
This movie clip, created from images taken by NASA’s Cassini spacecraft, shows small spots slipping over each other east of Jupiter’s Great Red Spot. These small storms are born in the turbulent region west of the Great Red Spot, then move westward all the way around the planet until they again encounter the Red Spot from the east, when they are often swallowed by the Red Spot.
