For nearly 200 years, scientists have wondered about the Giant Red Spot on Jupiter. This week, pictures of the planet show dark clouds moving around, and through, a large red oval centre.
    These are the closest images humans have ever seen of the spot on the giant gas planet.
    (5) America’s space agency NASA sent the Juno spacecraft to Jupiter to gather scientific data on the solar system’s biggest planet. On Monday Juno flew over the Giant Red Spot, which is a storm larger than our planet Earth. First observed in 1830, scientists think it may be more than 350 years old. (6) The storm measures 16,350 kilometers wide and appears to be getting smaller.
    Bolton said, "it will take time for the scientists to process the information Juno is sending back to Earth. (7) NASA hopes the information will also tell them what is underneath the storm. "
    Juno was launched on August 5, 2011 from Cape Canaveral in Florida. The spacecraft will continue flybys to get more information for scientists to learn about the planet.
Questions 5 to 7 are based on the news report you have just heard.
5. Why did NASA send the Juno spacecraft to Jupiter?
6. What does the speaker say about the storm on Jupiter?
7. What does NASA want to know from the information Juno is sending back?
