Jupiter's Great Red Spot was recorded as shrinking in the nineteen thirties. However, it's size appears to have grown in the past few years. This spot is larger than Earth and is hurricane-like. This feature is still not completely understood though we see that small eddies feed into the storm system. This image was a digital enhancement of Jupiter's Great Red Spot taken in 1979 by the Voyager 1. I think that it's amazing that this photograph is so detailed. It's also astounding how astronomers are able to get pictures of the surface of Jupiter that are this clear.
