It's amazing how the three storms merged to create the Little Red Spot storm on Jupiter. It's hard to imagine a storm larger than the Earth itself! And it has winds at speeds twice as large as a normal category 5 hurricane!

This is a great discovery, because it can help to determine future weather on Jupiter and if other storms like this may appear in the future. @ Brandon F: It's not really that hard to imagine a storm that big, considering that Jupiter is over 100 times the size of earth.

I found this article very amazing! I agree with Brandon F though Declan, because a no storm on earth has, or hopefully ever will be, a hundredth the size of our planet.
