1 year agoThis can be a little confusing.
You may have mistaken the Red Spot and the cyclones near Jupiter’s North Pole. The largest of the cyclones (the polar one) is only ~1,864 Miles in diameter.
Even though the southern cyclones are larger, here is an interesting comparison of the US and Texas compared to those.
This is interesting.
There are more videos at this EUMETSAT page.
Would be interesting to look for upper-atmospheric lightning (sprites,etc).
