Did they fail to pay attention to their Glow Bull Warming?

Cyclones to the left of me, whirlpools to the right!
To: MtnClimber
The Cyclones made it all the way to Jupiter from Ames, Iowa, and NASA is still trying to figure out how to send people to Mars.
To: MtnClimber
Send Greta and some lawyers to stop it.

Cool. I think I saw this discussed on Rogan with Terrence Howard but don’t recall the explanation.

Wind Speed of the Rotating Cyclones
The wind speeds within these cyclones are quite violent, reaching up to 220 mph (350 kph)6. The cyclones themselves are massive, with each northern cyclone being almost as wide as the distance between Naples, Italy, and New York City6.

As you move further away from the Sun to the other gas giants one would expect the wind speeds to slow down because there is less solar energy to feed them. The opposite is true. They become closer to friction free flow so the winds get faster.

ya know what I have never seen?... those clouds moving. were told that the winds on jupiter are exceeding 900mph but with all the spacecraft that flew by and available(that I have seen), I have never seen a moving atmosphere on jupiter. surely there should be some detection of movement...
Your homework assignment!! keep a half an eye out for what im talking about. post it up if you find anything!!
