Default Jupiter’s red spot is likely a sunburn, not a blush

Most current theory suggests Jupiter's Red Spot is as a result of
chemicals deep down in its atmosphere coming upto its surface. This
study suggests that it's due UV light breaking down certain chemicals
high up in the Red Spot and turning them red.
