All images were taken from a distance of 77.6 million kilometers (48.2 million miles) on Oct. 8, 2000. The Great Red Spot (below and to the right of center) is a giant atmospheric storm as wide as two Earths and over 300 years old, with peripheral winds of 483 kilometers per hour (300 miles per hour).
