Jupiter'''s Great Red Spot won'''t die anytime soon, researcher says | Fox News
Having been continuously observed since 1830, Jupiter's Great Red Spot (GRS) has fascinated researchers. But despite recent reports that the clouds involved are shrinking, the storm continues to be exceptionally strong, according to a new study.
Researchers from the University of California, Berkeley spoke at a conference held by the American Physical Society's Division of Fluid Dynamics and said there is no evidence the vortex that causes cloud formation has changed in size or strength.
======================================================
I am open to the idea that the GRS is actually a life form. It fits at least 2 of the criteria for life: it is both energetic & long-lasting. It has spun off (generated) smaller spots - reproduction? This wouldn't be carbon-based life as we know it but today's science are too fixed on the idea that life depends on carbon & water, neither of which exist in the GRS.
