Jupiter is a big, complex, chaotic planet. It has long been known as the most dominant feature in our suns orbit, but it wasnt until last May that the planets internal features began to be revealed. During a few close passes, NASAs $1.1 billion Juno spacecraft collected data on the gas giant that revealed cyclones the size of Earth and a surprisingly strong magnetic field.
Now, data collected by Juno have uncovered more never-before-seen features on its north and south poles. In a study published this week in the journal Nature, a team of scientists report bizarre geometric storms surrounding a single massive cyclone on each of the planets poles. The storms measure seven thousands miles across and reach wind speeds nearing 220 miles per hour, which would classify them as Category 5 hurricane here on Earth.

VERY COOL! Great pictures indeed!
Jupiter is certainly a turbulent planet but beautifully so.

There is so much going on out there and it’s fascinating. I love it when these probes send new information.
Our beautiful little rock is a minute piece of the overall picture. Too bad some don’t want to see it that way.

Imagine a hurricane consuming the entire Earth. That’s how big these storms are. Such a storm here would eliminate all life on Earth.

I don’t cast stones either. If nothing else, if we all thought and believed the same way, it would be a boring life. :-)
Delusions? Gotta have one or two at least or we’d go crazy. LOL
And on that note, I gotta go to bed. The sun will be up soon and this lil vampire doesn’t care to be turned to ashes. :-)

Minorities hit hardest and the NRA to blame.
