Summary:
- The Great Red Spot, a massive storm on Jupiter, has been shrinking over the past several decades, but a new study shows that the storm is now moving in an unexpected direction.
- Researchers have found that the Great Red Spot is drifting westward, rather than the previously observed eastward motion, at a rate of about 1 mile per hour.
- The cause of this unexpected change in the storm's movement is not yet fully understood, but it may be related to changes in Jupiter's atmosphere and the interactions between the Great Red Spot and other weather patterns on the planet.
