Jupiter's Great Red Spot is getting faster! Winds around the edge of the storm have increased in speed by 8% since 2009 and now exceed 400mph, NASA reveals

NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland analysed the Hubble Space Telescope's regular 'storm reports' and discovered winds in the 'high-speed ring' on the edge of the storm had increased by eight per cent since 2009.

In contrast, the winds near the red spot's innermost region are moving significantly more slowly, 'like someone cruising lazily on a sunny Sunday afternoon,' said NASA.

The actual changes aren't that much over the 11 years of measurements, working out at an increase of less than 1.6mph per Earth year of observation.

'We're talking about such a small change that if you didn't have eleven years of Hubble data, we wouldn't know it happened,'

Maybe caused by the same thing that is warming some of the other planets at the same time?

Heard several years back that Mars is getting warmer. Forget global warming, it’s solar warming.

False flag intended to distract us.

Keep eyes on Uranus.

That’s where the real event will come from.

So, the eye of the hurricane is moving slow and the outer edges of the hurricane are moving at 400mph. And its the size of Asia. Sounds like a scifi story needs to be written about scientists using the eye to approach Jupiter.
