Jupiter's third red spot torn apart by siblings

Jupiter's third giant red storm has been chewed up by a collision with the planet's other two red spots and does not appear to have survived. Astronomers are still scrambling to capture pictures of the aftermath, but it appears Jupiter's third spot was torn up last week when it squeezed between its larger cousins, the Great Red Spot and Red Spot Junior.

The third spot first appeared earlier this year when a white storm turned scarlet.

Me too. It was only the other day I was reading up about Jupiter and learned about the other spots!

RIP LRS!

Poor LRS, you shall be missed.

I think when you die and become intellegent energy you should be able to interact with phenomenon like planets, suns, black holes without any ill affects.

Poor LRS, you shall be missed.

Love it!!!
