Jupiter’s great red spot is shrinking. The Great Red Spot is a giant anticyclonic storm that has been raging for at least 350 years. The storm was once so enormous that it could swallow three Earth-sized planets. However, recent observations reveal it's now just big enough to accommodate a single Earth. Scientists are unsure why the Great Red Spot is shrinking. One possibility is that it is due to changes in Jupiter's atmosphere. Another possibility is that the storm is simply running out of energy or is being affected by neighbouring storms. A 2019 study showed that the storm is flaking on its edge, meaning that it could disappear within the next 20 years. Whatever the reason, the shrinking of the Great Red Spot is a reminder that even the most powerful storms in the solar system are not immune to change.

$Game Changer! A Mysterious Galaxy That Emits No Light Has Been Found Astronomers have discovered a mysterious galaxy that emits no visible light. They have found the first dark galaxy in nature. Its a loner lying 94 million light-years away. Apart from a small fraction of stars, more than 90% of it is composed of dark matter. At first, the researchers thought it was a regular dwarf galaxy with very few stars. However, a detailed analysis of the galaxy revealed it’s an oddball that defies all expectations. Its properties challenge our understanding of extragalactic astronomy. Furthermore, this dark galaxy could solve one of the biggest astronomical mysteries, the missing satellite problem. But the intriguing question is that if it emits no visible light, then how did astronomers find it in the first place? How did they even conclude it’s a galaxy millions of light years away? Finally, and most importantly, what’s the missing satellite problem that has puzzled astronomers for decades? The 48th episode of the Sunday Discovery Series answers all these questions.
