This view of Jupiter's `Little Red Spot` combines high-resolution images from the New Horizons Long Range Reconnaissance Imager and images taken by the WFPC2 on the Hubble Space Telescope on February 27 2007. The Little Red Spot is the second largest storm on Jupiter, roughly 70% the size of the Earth and it started turning red in late-2005.
