NASA's Amy Simon stated, "As far as we know, it's not been identified before" in reference to the unexpected oscillations in the size of Jupiter's Great Red Spot.
"That was very unexpected, and at present, there are no hydrodynamic explanations," commented Simon, highlighting the peculiar behavior of the Great Red Spot observed by Hubble.
Mike Wong explained, "As it accelerates and decelerates, the GRS is pushing against the windy jet streams to the north and south of it," indicating potential insights for terrestrial weather phenomena.
Hubble's observations have shown that the Great Red Spot behaves like a stress ball, compressing and stretching while simultaneously altering its speed, which was previously undocumented.
