"Although much smaller in extent, the color is striking," said UC Berkeley team member Michael Wong. ""Like the other two large red storm systems, this newest red spot is bright in near-infrared wavelengths and dark in the ultraviolet. If this spot and the Great Red Spot continue on their courses, they will encounter each other in August, and the small oval will either be absorbed or repelled from the Great Red Spot."

Herebelow a short CG animation I made starting from Hubble map (sharpened and contrast enhanced). Imagine to be about 300000 Km from Jupiter, 10° below equator:
