| Description: |
Scientists around the globe have observed an astonishing and rare change in Jupiter's atmosphere -- a huge disturbance
churning in the middle northern latitudes of the planet as two giant storms erupted. Jupiter's winds are the strongest at middle
northern latitudes, reaching about 600 kilometers per hour (370 miles per hour). Similar phenomena occurred in 1975 and
1990, but this event has never been observed before with high-resolution modern telescopes. [Source: NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory]
