> Researchers say the Great Red Spot now measures about 15 800 kilometres across, big enough to swallow the Earth. The super-storm is still shrinking, as noted in telescopic observations dating back to 1930, but its rate of shrinkage appears to have slowed. The reason for its dwindling size is a complete mystery. Isn't a storm's slowing down is normal due to loss of energy? Probably am missing some physics 101... Also, I didn't know there were auroras on Jupiter: https://www.spacetelescope.org/images/heic1613a/ https://www.spacetelescope.org/images/heic1613a/
