Huge Storms Converge on Jupiter

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the things-that-go-bump-in-the-night dept.

tpoker writes to tell us NASA is reporting that the two biggest storms in the solar system are about to collide on Jupiter. From the article: "Storm #1 is the Great Red Spot, twice as wide as Earth itself, with winds blowing 350 mph. The behemoth has been spinning around Jupiter for hundreds of years. Storm #2 is Oval BA, also known as 'Red Jr.,' a youngster of a storm only six years old. Compared to the Great Red Spot, Red Jr. is half-sized, able to swallow Earth merely once, but it blows just as hard as its older cousin."

    Was it really necessary to tell us that 1/2 of two earths = 1 earth?

    Is /. news for nerds or is it news for middle school dropouts?
