Jupiter's Great Red Spot wobbles like Jell-o, according to Hubble snaps After observing Jupiter's Great Red Spot (GRS) with the Hubble Space Telescope for 90 days, scientists have determined that it behaves like a "bowl of gelatin." That finding, which challenges conventional wisdom that the extraterrestrial anticyclone is relatively stable, appeared in a paper published on Wednesday and …
I gather the flavour (or stench) is more-or-less a combination of ammonia and rotten eggs (hydrogen sulfide), as colours in Jupiter's clouds probably stem from ammonium hydrosulfide and its radiolysis products. I do not think ammonium hydrosulfide flavoured Jell-O would be a market success, but opinions may vary.
Indeed, obviously written by a left-pondian, and stinks like a fetid patch of mid-Atlantic seaweed that is past its float-by date, what is El-Reg coming to? I blame the whippersnappers that should have paid attention in proper-English lessons, none of this Webster's English for Dummies claptrap please.
I was more bothered about the video narrator. He sounded like he was talking to 5 year olds. On the other hand, I find many, many US narrated documentary style videos, whether it be Youtube or actual TV broadcast ones, all sound very "samey". Is there just one narrator in the US? Or did they just all go to the same narrators school? There's some good stuff comes out of the US, but far, far too often it has promise which it fails to deliver on, with an assumption the audience are stupid or uneducated and repeats basic information many times and never gets into any real detail.

Whether Jell-o or sandwich, it seems to me this astronomic gastronomy is just too rich in lipids for the gas giant! The wobble, the hubble, the bulging, the bloating, the flatulence, the vortices, the cosmic bowel hurricane, the great red spot, the cramping shrinkage with gut dilation at the same time, the discomfort, and the need to stay put to avoid fluid mixture explosions while simultaneously ambling quickly to the nearest lieu of equilibrium ... it's classical heartburn indigestion, galactic acid dyspepsia, compounded by reflux circulation IMHO.
How can we stand by and watch as our gentle giant neighbor endures such gastric torture? Send it a bottle of space-hardened Gaviscon D, Pepto-Bismol, Maalox, or even some celestial Rolaids for heaven's sake! The whole solar system will be eternal grateful as Jupiter's finally allowed to relax from its constant wind changes, and save a stellar bunch of nostrils in the process (no?)!
