Jupiter's Great Red Spot Revealed as a Younger Storm

New research indicates the iconic storm is only 190 years old, not the centuries-long behemoth once thought.

The Great Red Spot observed today is not the same storm seen by Cassini in 1665.
The current storm likely formed around the 1830s, replacing the earlier 'Permanent Spot.'
The original storm vanished for over a century before the new one appeared at the same latitude.
The Great Red Spot has been shrinking since its first observation in the 19th century.
Scientists continue to study the storm's dynamics to understand its formation and longevity.
