摘要

You think we have bad storms on Earth? Jupiter's iconic hurricane-like storm, the Great Red Spot, has been raging for at least 250 years, and if new work is correct, we might soon know why. Marzia Parisi at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel and her colleagues have estimated the storm's gravitational effect on its surroundings. The team says NASA's Juno spacecraft arriving at Jupiter in July might be able to verify the calculations.
