How to Explore the Great Red Spot Jupiter 3D Explorer

Open the Great Red Spot Jupiter 3D Explorer and scrub through 5 real published width measurements of Jupiter's Great Red Spot, from the late 1800s to 2014.

  1. Open https://freetoolonline.com/space-3d/great-red-spot-jupiter.html and wait for the banded Jupiter sphere and the storm to render.
  2. Drag the era slider (0-4) to redraw the storm at each of the 5 real published width measurements.
  3. Read the facts panel for that era's source, width in km, and the size compared to Earth's diameter.
  4. Check the running table below the facts panel - the highlighted row is the active era.
  5. Drag to orbit and scroll or pinch to zoom on the scene for a closer look at the storm.
  6. Compare the late-1800s and 2014 rows to see how much the storm has actually shrunk.
