In an exciting new discovery, scientists have identified that magnetic tornadoes on Jupiter are creating massive storms the size of Earth. These storms, which manifest as dark ovals in the planet’s atmosphere,

New research reveals that Jupiter’s magnetic tornadoes generate massive Earth-sized storms, visible only in ultraviolet light.

While Jupiter’s Great Red Spot has been a constant feature of the planet for centuries, University of California, Berkeley, astronomers have discovered equally large spots at the planet’s

Magnetic vortices twisting down from Jupiter's ionosphere into its deep atmosphere cause giant, ultraviolet-absorbing polar anticyclones, each the size of our Earth.

According to the team, these dark UV ovals are a hint that some unusual processes are taking place in Jupiter’s strong magnetic field. This field spreads down to the poles and deep into the planet’s atmosphere,
