NASA's Hubble Watches Jupiter's Great Red Spot Behave Like a Stress Ball
Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI)

Using Hubble, astronomers have discovered that Jupiter's Great Red Spot (GRS) is not as stable as it might look. Hubble measurements of the GRS's size, shape, brightness, color, and vorticity showed it can change dimensions—looking like a slightly skinnier or fatter red oval over 90 days.

Enhancing Hurricane Forecasts: A Game-Changer in Lessening Catastrophic Impacts
Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center

A team from the University of Houston found that, when they reduced estimates of atmospheric friction of storms, their predictions on PSC’s Bridges-2 improved markedly over standard storm predictions. This advancement promises better planning to lessen the effects of storms on people and possibly aid emergency storm responses.

Weather 'whiplash' in Antarctica may help predict effects of future climate change
Virginia Tech

The McMurdo Dry Valleys of Antarctica live up to their name. The region is one of the driest places on Earth — mountains form a wall around the valleys and prevent melting glacier water from intruding, humidity is extremely low, and no rain was documented in the valleys between the 1960s and the early 2020s. So when Virginia Tech biological sciences Professor J.
