Same thing could happen to Uranus.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Climate change.

[I want the USA back]

That’s a relief! I thought it was going to be blamed on Trump, or “global warming,” or mean tweets, or cow farts.

i saw expanse... it is the protomolecule.

[nickcarraway]

If it kept consuming other storms, wouldn’t there eventually be fewer storms to consume?

[Larry Lucido]

Once that storm hits landfall it will all be over

[Dogbert41]

Our freon finally got to Jupiter!

[Little Pig]

Since we have no observations of Jupiter prior to the 1600s (and even those are spectacularly unreliable), we really know very little about the Great Red Spot. It’s entirely possible that it’s less than a thousand years old, and therefore entirely transient. Jupiter is still an astonishingly dynamic world, so there’s nothing to say that this feature has any kind of permanence.

As another example, the ring structures around Saturn are also transient, albeit on a larger scale. In another hundred-thousand years or so, they’ll be gone.

[Flatus I. Maximus]

Uh-oh. When the Great Red Spot disappears completely, Jupiter explodes.

 

[McCarthysGhost]

Are we hurting Jupiter?

[blueunicorn6]

Interplanetary zit cream

[Not A Snowbird]

Obviously climate change.

[Lockbox]

Climate Change? It’s effecting the Solar System! What does the Solar System have common?

[logi_cal869]

I’ve seen this movie...

[NetAddicted]

Are they sure it isn’t climate change? /s
