Colossal Jupiter Losing One Genuine Attraction – a hurricane that will not be forgotten #Jupiter #planet #space #poetry #poems

Since the sixteen hundreds

[image error]A giant storm has raged,

Largest in the solar system,

One Jupiter has made.

A swirling gale that could

Swallow our Earth whole.

Jupiter’s Great Red Spot

Is known to one and all.

A vortex lasting centuries

Can’t go on forever.

Two hundred years have seen it shrink

By half, in Jove’s great weather.

And still receding slowly,

So in a decade or two,

It could become the Great Red Ring

That memory carries through.

“The GRS [Great Red Spot] will in a decade or two become the GRC (Great Red Circle). Maybe sometime after that the GRM, by which he means the Great Red Memory.” space.com
