The Great Red Spot can be seen in NASA’s image. A brown, orange serpentine shape is also visible in it. NASA says that a high-pressure region in Jupiter’s atmosphere has been creating anticyclonic storms for more than 350 years.

The Great Red Spot is twice the size of the Earth. This storm exists about 300 km below the clouds of Jupiter. Due to lack of solid land on Jupiter, the storm is not weakening.
