Extraterrestrial Superstorms

The video explores the differences between Earth's hurricanes and the massive storms on gas giants like Jupiter, Neptune, Saturn, and Uranus. Earth's storms are powered by sun-warmed oceans and are cyclonic, while gas giant storms are anticyclonic and fueled by the planet's internal heat. The Juno spacecraft provides new insights into Jupiter's Great Red Spot, revealing its shrinking size and changing dynamics. The mission's data, aided by citizen scientists, helps unravel the mysteries of these long-lasting storms.

What factors contribute to the formation of cyclonic and anticyclonic systems?

How do the storms on gas giants differ in terms of their molecular composition?
