Pretty cool.
Aparently it’s been no big secret within the scientific community. It’s the first I heard of it, and I was surprised.
A little side track from the daily grind.
I hadn’t heard about it either, and I’m an amateur astronomer. Might be because Jupiter is only visible in the wee hours of the morning these days, rising at something like 3:30AM. In any case, it looks like the Great Red Spot, at least so far, has been unaffected, although the belt’s disappearance was preceded by new storm activity within it.
