Great Red Spot

Discovered by Robert Hooke in 1664, the spot seemed to be a localized perpetual swirling storm in the churning AtmoSea of colossal storms, loosly localized . Our astronomers learned that it was an anticyclonic vortex, winds swirling in the opposite direction of atmospheric flow. It was observed that the spot routinely changed size and wind velocities. Ascertained to be very deep, perhaps all the way down to some solid core thousands of kilometers below the cloudy face of the planet. Everything about the GRS seemed to conflict with the rest of the atmospheric routines.
