One of Jupiter’s most distinctive features – the Great Red Spot – is shrinking, according to new images from the Hubble Space Telescope.
The spot, which is a violent storm, is considered to be the biggest in the Solar System.

Winds inside the storm have been measured at several hundreds of miles per hour.
