For about 300 years Jupiter's banded atmosphere has shown a remarkable feature to telescopic viewers, a large swirling storm system known as The Great Red Spot.
In 2006, another red storm system appeared, actually seen to form as smaller whitish oval-shaped storms merged and then developed the curious reddish hue.
Now, Jupiter has a third red spot, again produced from a smaller whitish storm. All three are seen in this image made from data recorded on May 9 and 10 with the Hubble Space Telescope's Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2.
... Jupiter's recent outbreak of red spots is likely related to large scale climate change as the gas giant planet is getting warmer near the equator.

Liberals and environmentalist wacko's say that global warming (climate change) is normal for other planets like Mars (whose southern ice cap NASA says may end up melting away completely) and Jupiter, but not for Earth.
Liberals ignore warming on other planets, and say that the sun and increased solar activity can cause global warming on other planets farther away but not here on Earth.
On Earth libs say that the cause is human beings.
Idiots!
Liberals/Democrats block energy independence, try to get people to turn down their thermostats, ride bikes, stop driving SUVs, etc, while trying to spoon-feed people the canard of AGW on Earth.
Why?
They want to try and force a lifestyle change on you.
What say you?
EVERYTHING on Jupiter is "large scale"!.......
Bush's fault!
Bush’s fault!! He didn’t sign the Kyoto protocol, which is why Jupiter and Mars and Uranus and Titan (and Earth) are all warming now.
(Do I really need a sarcasm tag here?)
Perhaps it is so large scale because the people on Jupiter didn’t sign Kyoto or Kyoto II?
I thought that was only in Texas.
Al Gore must be dispatched immediately to Jupiter... and Mars.
The people there must sign Kyoto II or global warming could spread to other planets!!!
(sarc.
Measles!
I had a big red spot once. I got better.
The radical libs continue to find ways to rationalize and legalize their deliberate scam on global warming and cooling. They continue to BLAME HUMAN KIND for what has been going on since the beginning of earth’s formation.
Of course, that logic and solid science does not evade scrutiny so they avoid it like the plague. Only the mindless left emotionally-motivated liberal dupes keep this crap alive....
No?
Those dastardly Jovians!
Or maybe it's a Rovian effect. Karl! Tsk, tsk, tsk!
You're all wrong! Jupiter DID sign the Kyoto agreements, but it didn't make a damn bit of difference. Perhaps we could learn something from this...
My first instinct is “By all means dispatch Al Gore to Jupiter as soon as possible”, but you do realize that if there is intelligent life on Jupiter, that would be an act of war!
Not to complain, but usually the Astronomy Picture Of The Day includes a photograph. B-)
How though, did you get better without signing Kyoto or Kyoto II?
Ah, you did sign them...
If the people on Jupiter sign Kyoto or Kyoto II, their Big Red Spot will go away, too.
I’m going with the idea that THE SUN may have something to do with things getting warmer. Just an idea...
The pic looks like a Picasso.
“...jupiter is experiencing large-scale global warming...”
jupiter is experiencing sympathy warming because the earth is being destroyed by greedy, nasty, un-caring, evil and ugly capitalists.
only when the earth is saved with high taxes, bicycle riding, and liberal leftists in charge will there be a return to sanity in the universe.
/sarcasm off/
It would certainly be an act of war by them against Gore.
