For a space nerd, there's **thing quite as imagination-sparking as Jupiter's Great Red Spot.*

The 10,000-mile-wide storm that's likely been raging for centuries in Jupiter's atmosphere is past due for its close-up. But the Great Red Spot's time has finally come. NASA's Ju** mission will fly just 5,600 miles above the planet's raging storm on July 10, giving humanity its first view of the spot from (comparatively) close range.*
