Jupiter's Red Spots to Collide
Juptier's two red spots are about to collide...or at least close to it.
According to NASA, around July 4th will be the closest approach of Red
Spot Jr. and Red Spot Sr.
These spots, are in reality are the two biggest gas storms of the solar
system. The largest storm has winds that blow over 350 miles per hour
and has been around for hundreds of years. The smaller storm has been
around for only 6 years, but has winds of the same speed. Check it out
yourself...Jupiter is out early in the evening twilight, before any
other star and quite bright. You can find it halfway up the
southeastern sky at sunset.
