It's still stunning to me how small the great red spot has become. If it gets any smaller it's hardly a feature worth talking about. I remember back in the 80's looking through my telescope at Jupiter and clearly seeing the spot. I know it's entirely possible, but to see a large thing like that visibly change over my lifetime still somehow feels wrong.
Would love to have one without the labels. Perfect wallpaper material. Is the source somewhere in nasa.gov?
