The Shrinking Giant Red Spot of Jupiter 160
schwit1 (797399) writes "Jupiter's trademark Great Red Spot — a swirling storm feature larger than Earth — is shrinking. This downsizing, which is changing the shape of the spot from an oval into a circle, has been known about since the 1930s, but now these striking new NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope images capture the spot at a smaller size than ever before."

The average Jovian's carbon footprint is much heavier than a Terran's.

In my organization, we call it rightsizing. Of course, we didn't call it that while we were expanding.

Call Al Gore. He can't do anything about it, just like the rest of us, but at least he can make a slideshow that passes for a movie

I think it's not so much gravity, but rather the division by zero in your calculations.
