This one’s got your name on it.
I’m wondering if we’ll see something similar on Jupiter when the Juno craft gets there.
I wonder what Richard Hoagland’s screen name is at FR?
Grand.
Have you seen the new picture of the earth and moon from Mars.

I had to do a search on “why”. The shape is based on fluid dynamics related to varying densities of the various materials and the speed of the materials. Cool stuff.
Socket to me ...
This is just SO cool!
The Martian Doosh.
Cool, Moon and all!
I always wonder just why god has it that the very small and very large are so much the same. We understand so little about either. Perhaps its a reminder that faith in him plays a part whether we like it or not.
The mind boggles at the very thought of a trillion places throughout the Cosmos every bit as breathtaking never to be pondered, gazed upon by human imagination.
Mind blowing. Just wow. The concept that everyone on this earth resides on that little dot of reflected light is melting my brain.
What is the bright spherical object at 5:30 ?
5:30? That would probably be dinner.
“The biggest of these vortices, seen near the lower right corner of the hexagon and appearing whitish, spans about 2,200 miles (3,500 kilometers), approximately twice the size of the largest hurricane on Earth.”
I would say the most likeliest is one of its myriad of moons reflected in the clouds.
