Another more interesting thing, the red spot on Jupiter is shrinking. It has lost 15% of its diameter between 1996 and 2006, approximately 1 kilometer a day during that time frame.

I always wondered what caused it… surface (being a relative term) storm? A collision of a large object? My ego?

According to some reading I’ve done, it’s a huge storm.
