Jupiter's Great Red Spot Moves Like the Solar System's Biggest Kickball
Briefly

The Great Red Spot of Jupiter, an elliptical storm longer than Earth, showcases chaotic movements that change its shape, behaving like a slug as it travels.
Astronomers expressed surprise over the new findings about the Great Red Spot, revealing that it can transform significantly in shape within just 90 days.
Amy Simon noted that the Great Red Spot has historically seemed unchanging, but recent studies indicate it is actually dynamic, altering between longer and shorter forms.
The origins and behavior of the Great Red Spot remain a mystery, as researchers are still trying to understand the physics behind its unusual transformations.
