Galileo Zooms in on Jupiter's Red Spot.

What does the largest storm system ever recorded look like close-up? This storm system is Jupiter 's Great Red Spot and it was captured recently in detail by the robot spacecraft Galileo now in orbit around Jupiter . Using real images from three color filters, the Galileo team was able to compute what a person would see if able to float just above this ancient rotating cloud system . But don't get too close - remember that Jupiter's Great Red Spot is a cold, high pressure area more than twice as wide as planet Earth .
