Since Red Junior has grown by combining with other storms, is it possible that, at some time in the future, it will grow still further? If so, will the Senior Red Spot also grow? Will they one day be large enough to actually collide, and combine in another "fly past" like the recent one? Yes, I think Red Junior can grow bigger as it seems to be in a belt where storms are created, so when Red Junior meets them, they'll be absorbed. For Senior Red, it seems pretty stable in size, and even the belt it's sited in, looks pretty turmoiled, it doesn't seem to create storms, which Senior Red could absorb. And I think the belts are very separated, so even they seem to be close, I think there are some factors in the belts that prevent them from merging. So I think that spots, if they are sited in each belt, won't be absorbed in each other. But fascinating it looks. It's definitely a fascinating planet. Shame any human visitation is impossible. Just getting into orbit and having a look would be an impossible dream come true for me. ID: 384464 ·

When i first found out about 'big red' when i was a kid, it blew me away, a storm bigger than our planet..... no it's got a little bro haha. Will be interesting to see what happens.

"The two biggest storms in the solar system are about to bump into each other in plain view of backyard telescopes. Storm #1 is the Great Red Spot, twice as wide as Earth itself, with winds blowing 350 mph. The behemoth has been spinning around Jupiter for hundreds of years. Storm #2 is Oval BA, also known as "Red Jr.," a youngster of a storm only six years old. Compared to the Great Red Spot, Red Jr. is half-sized, able to swallow Earth merely once, but it blows just as hard as its older cousin."
