Jupiter's anticyclones (IMAGE) American Geophysical Union Caption A flake of red peels away from Jupiter's Great Red Spot during an encounter with a smaller anticyclone, as seen by the Juno spacecraft's high resolution JunoCam on 12 February 2019. Although the collisions appear violent, planetary scientists believe they are mostly surface effects, like the crust on a crème brûlée.
