You Are Alive to Watch the Solar System’s Greatest Storm Die
The Great Red Spot of Jupiter is one the most iconic features of our Solar System. And your grandkids will likely never see it. It’s a planet sized storm that has been raging for up to 350 years! Longer than the United States has been a country.
It seems permanent. And in as few as 20 years, it could be gone, forever.
But this video? It’s not about about Jupiter’s Great Red Spot disapearing… well it is, but we’re going to go much, much deeper than that. Because Jupiter? Yeah, it isn’t the only thing in our universe disapearing. Things get much, much worse.

What do you mean 'my grandkids will never see it'?
Brother, I'VE never seen it. I only know it's there because of the countless pictures and drawings of it circulating various kinds of media. My grandkids will see it in exactly the same way I did.

a star would need to be at least 75 – 80 Jupiter mass

It must be global warming.

Jupiter's great red spot disappearing is equivalent to that of shaving off your mustache that has made you famous for years
@nameprivate2194

The late Arthur C. Clarke extrapolated that the core of the planet Jupiter is an Earth-sized diamond. Could be, I think; sounds plausible to me. It's going to be a long time before the facts are in on that one.
FYI: The Great Red Spot is AKA The Eye of Jupiter.

Depending on how quickly it dissipates, I should be dead by then and I’ll be glad. I can’t imagine Jupiter without the Great Red Spot. It’s so iconic, my autocorrect capitalized it! So yeah… Hopefully I’ll go before it does.

If you think 3% cut of food supply is not a big deal, imagine wall of 1000 brick lost 30 of them. Someone evil can go through it

to be fair most people alive today wont get to see it either. I've never owned a telescope powerful enough to see it. I've only seen pictures and it's not like the pictures are all going to be deleted after it's gone.
