Three giant storms cruise beneath Jupiter's Great Red Spot (top left) in this 1979 image from the Voyager 1 spacecraft. The storms eventually merged to form a smaller red spot, sometimes known as Red Junior. Similar white oval storms continue to swirl through Jupiter's atmosphere today, forming a string of pearls south of the Great Red Spot. [NASA/JPL]
