New high-resolution maps of Jupiter have provided the best evidence yet that the planet's Great Red Spot – the biggest storm in the Solar System – is shrinking.
Scientists led by Xylar Asay-Davis at the University of California, Berkeley, collected both new and historical data from instruments mounted on space probes such as Galileo and Cassini and used it to create detailed maps of wind speeds in the planet's atmosphere.
"We have shown much more definitively [than before] that the Great Red Spot has been shrinking over the past decade," said Davis, based at the university's Computational Fluid Dynamics Laboratory.

I always wanted to see what that storm was like in the middle of it. It would be so cool if they could build a camera that could withstand Jupiters pressure long enough to get some really good video inside the storm, maybe an hour or twos worth.
