NASA has revealed several mysteries surrounding the stunning Great Red Spot on Jupiter planet in terms of how long it has been in existence and what fuels it. The team of scientists from NASA sent the Juno spacecraft last week to skim about 2,200 miles on top of the giant’s spot clouds. At the moment, the spacecraft has been streaming back the data and images back to the Earth, where NASA scientists are processing it for better interpretation.
The probe was the first of its kind any Earthly object has ever come to the greatest storm on the planet. The spacecraft successfully managed to cut across the storm without developing any scratch. According to NASA, the process of analyzing the data may take several months before the final report is developed. Also, the scientists believe that the probe is just the beginning as more missions will be sent for further studies in the near future. Read more...
