Europa's subsurface ocean is protected from the surface conditions and may be heated by tidal forces. We hope to learn more about its composition to see if the conditions are right. Other moons may also have liquid water, but maybe not as much.

The Great Red Spot is actually a high pressure storm (anticyclone), but it is so large and lasts so long because Jupiter's winds keep it confined in a channel of latitude. Earth can have superstorms (Sandy), but land usually breaks them apart as they move in latitude

Yes, the Coriolis force does cause storms to rotate on all the planets, including Jupiter.

It does have much less motion in the center, with the strongest winds in a ring part way out from the center

It has been shrinking for over a hundred years. It could break apart at any time, or just stabilize. Keep watching!

Um okay @NASAEarth. Nice try. Jupiter's stormy Great Red Spot is bigger than the entire Earth and that's nothing compared to Saturn's hurricane-like polar vortex , which could fit multiple Earths inside. 🌪️>🌎🌍🌏 go.nasa.gov/2HO5Tw4 twitter.com/NASAEarth/stat…

Did you know:
☔️ rain falls on Saturn’s moon Titan?
⚡️ lightning strikes Venus?
🌀 Neptune's winds can exceed 1,200 mph?
⬡ Saturn's jet stream is shaped like a hexagon?

Check out the wild and rocky surface of asteroid #Bennu taken by the @OSIRISREx spacecraft. It's one of many spacecraft that we communicate with every day to collect data and cool images like these from across the Solar System.

Did you know there are asteroids named after dinosaurs? Asteroid 9951 Tyrannosaurus made its closest approach to Earth on May 19th, and 9954 Brachiosaurus will do so on May 28. Learn more in our monthly What’s Up skywatching video: go.nasa.gov/2PDWavM ☄🦖 pic.twitter.com/kG754FRhQi

I’m sending my name to the Red Planet with the #Mars2020 rover, and you can too! Submit your name, collect frequent flyer miles and print out your boarding pass: go.nasa.gov/Mars2020Pass
Your name will be put on a microchip that will be installed on the rover and travel to Mars! pic.twitter.com/VKGWui3PoX

The first profile of the most distant object ever explored has just been published. When our @NASANewHorizons spacecraft flew by Ultima Thule — four billion miles from Earth — it revealed secrets about the era of planet formation. Discover more: go.nasa.gov/2wcEM8w pic.twitter.com/yyC3mRocZw

Before I left Earth, 2.4 million people sent in their names for me to carry to Mars. Miss your chance? Or want to go again? Great news: I have a new friend coming soon, and she can give you all a ride!

What’s the weather like on a brown dwarf?
Expect planet-sized storms⚡️ (like Jupiter’s Great Red Spot🔴), where it rains hot sand, molten iron🔥 or salts.
Watch #NASAScience Live tomorrow for more extreme weather!

Shackleton crater lies at the Moon’s south pole and is a permanently shadowed region, a crater that never receives direct sunlight and likely contains water ice! We're eager to learn more about the south pole when we land there in #2024. Image by @LRO_NASA lroc.sese.asu.edu/posts/1105 pic.twitter.com/6LHmtbAMVG

For spacecraft 🛰 and astronauts 👩🏽🚀 traveling through space, an unexpected gust of solar wind ☀️💨 can be dangerous. To better understand how the solar wind moves and changes, space scientists trace the solar wind all the way back to its source on the Sun: go.nasa.gov/2Q9LWUv pic.twitter.com/3N5IquFqGY
