One Gigantic Jupiter Development!
Living within the “2012 Window” that we are is seeing all manner of strange things happening in our solar system, and here on earth. There isn’t a planet in our neighborhood that’s not experiencing something weird. That big red blotch on the face of Jupiter is no exception. Talk about huge hot spots!
That “Great Red Spot” that we see on Jupiter is a great anti-cyclonic (high pressure) storm akin to a hurricane on Earth, but it is enormous. When I say ENORMOUS, we’re saying that three Earths would fit within its boundaries. Try to wrap that around your mind.
Everything about Jupiter is super-sized of course, including its colorful, turbulent atmosphere. But there’s fresh evidence that one of the planet’s most recognizable features, the Great Red Spot, is shrinking! Yep, something different is happening for some reason we’ve not yet discovered. The SPOT, which is actually an ancient monster storm, has lost 15 percent of its diameter between 1996 and 2006, scientists at the University of California, Berkeley, have found.
That’s just in ten years!
Astronomers have observed for years that the clouds of the Great Red Spot have been waning, but this newest research focused on the motion of the storm. Asay-Davis and fellow Berkeley researchers Philip Marcus, Imke de Pater, Michael Wong and Sushil Shetty developed software that tracked the movement of the spot’s cloud patterns over long periods of time, and they said, “It’s not just the motion of the spot as a whole object. Within it, it has a very complicated swirl to it — sort of a thin ring on the outside and then a sort of quiet area in the center — and that shape of it has been changing over time.
What we actually look at is where the winds are the strongest in the vortex. It’s the ring where they’re the strongest, and that ring has been shrinking over time.”
Who knows where this is going or what it means, but it goes along with the changes that are happing to every planet in our solar system, not to mention the very low sun spot activity currently being observed.
Astronomers see a dramatic difference in the spot’s shape when comparing photos of Jupiter taken more than a century ago to recent images of the planet. Does this have anything to do with 2012? Who knows? What we do know is that we’re seeing a plethora of unusual and unique events happening within our solar system that seemingly are being impacted by something beyond it.
E.T.- please phone earth! 
As a spiritual-futurist, I have a BA degree majoring in history. One cannot know the future without knowing the past which holds clues to what is on the horizon. The world is in such a rapid expansion of knowledge that we are close to entering a tipping point that will forever change earth as we know it.
