There are, of course, some differences. For example, these storms are as big as entire planets. The largest and oldest storm in the solar system is Jupiter’s Great Red Spot, stretching an incredible two to three times the diameter of the planet Earth. Meanwhile the fastest winds ever measured, clocking fifteen hundred miles per hour, once raged in Neptune’s Great Dark Spot. Saturn’s Polar Vortex is a 20,000-mile-wide monster shaped like a hexagon. Even plain-looking Uranus hides USA-sized hurricanes below its methane haze. There are many unsolved mysteries surrounding these epic storms. We may be close to finding some answers, following the Juno spacecraft’s recent flyby of Jupiter’s Great Red Spot.Juno's interactive website: https://www.missionjuno.swri.edu/Written by Alexandra Yep and Matt O’Dowd Hosted by Matt O' DowdProduced by Rusty WardGraphics by Kurt RossAssistant Editing and Sound Design by Mike PetrowMade by Kornhaber Brown (www.kornhaberbrown.com)Comments answer by Matt:Andres64 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9dqtW...Keith Gaughanhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9dqtW...Vacuum Diagrams https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9dqtW...youteub akount https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9dqtW...Don Solaris https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9dqtW...Special thanks to our Patreon Big Bang, Quasar and Hypernova Supporters: Big BangCoolAsCatsDavid NicklasQuasarTambe BarsbayMax LevineMayank M.
