    Yes, although the huge planet has three red spots!

    There seems to be one on Saturn, too, but the colour in this picture is a fake.

    Still, I think I will accept your answer.

    Quote:
    One of the most recognizable features on Jupiter is the Great Red Spot. This is a huge, high storm that has been swirling around Jupiter for hundreds of years. It's easily visible from telescopes here on Earth, and even in larger backyard telescopes.

    Although there are many storms swirling around Jupiter, nothing is as large and long lived as the Great Red Spot.
