Scientists have predicted the disappearance of an incredible hurricane on Jupiter, which lasts from 1600
Jet streams of Jupiter can move at speeds of over 500 km/h, which adds to the strength of the storm.

Large-scale storm on Jupiter, which is 1.3 times more than for our Land, gradually declining and soon may disappear forever, reports Rus.Media.

2017 space station Juno handed the next photo is the Great red spot. Scientists were shocked by the level of detail of the image spacecraft.

It is noted that the storm on Jupiter is wider than our Earth. This giant storm lasting from 1600-ies. In comparison with the largest storm of the globe Hurricane John, which made itself felt in 1994 and lasted only 31 days, a storm on Jupiter lasts an extremely long time.

NASA scientist who led the mission Juno, Glenn Orton explained why storm on Jupiter does not stop.

“Think of the Great red spot as on a wheel that spins around and continues its movement, because it is placed between two conveyor belts moving in opposite directions. The great red spot stand and therefore can survive for long,” said Gelt Orton.

But not all of the storms last so long. Jet streams of Jupiter can move at speeds of over 500 km/h, so they provide the strength of any storms that are spinning backward relative to the motion of the planet. This allows you to apply momentum to the vortex,” said Orton.

Juno will receive the following pictures from the surface of Jupiter in April 2018, then again in July and in September 2019р., and in December 2020. But a review of the space station will not be as close as in July 2017.
