The best thermal images of Jupiter’s Great Red Spot yet captured have revealed surprising weather and temperature variation within the solar system’s most famous storm.
The darkest red part of the spot turns out to be a warm patch inside the otherwise cold storm. The temperature variation is slight: “Warm” in this case translates to -250 degrees Fahrenheit while cold is an even frostier -256 degrees F. But even that difference is enough to create intriguing internal dynamics.
Over the past few decades, astronomers had begun to get a handle on the weather patterns around the Great Red Spot, but not inside of it. Previous measurements have indicated that the spot towered over the surrounding cloud cover, much like supercells on Earth.
Disrupting the Borg is expensive and time consuming!

NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
It’s RED, so it’s gotta be HOT, HOT, HOT!!
Just like Hansen’s evil anomalies over the Arctic
Hot, I tell ya, HOT!
I call him Big Eddie.
… and the longest lasting – several hundred years at least.
