Jupiter’s belts are not as colorful in reality as they are in the plethora of false color images we all enjoy.

Jupiter should buy some carbon credits to offset this problem.

Our lodge has Jupiter as its planet for the Winter Solstice walk in December. The planets have markers set out along the lake shore in town at their relative distances to each of the other planets. So this is timely info to share this year.
To: Red Badger
Most of the time Jupiter’s belts appear in grayscale through a typical backyard telescope. One year in January I was observing with a Celestron C-9.25 Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope in my backyard in Soldotna, AK just before a big storm was coming in from the Gulf of Alaska. It is said that the best “seeing” condition are just before big storms arrive. That night I saw the colors of all of Jupiter’s rings and it was absolutely beautiful. That image is forever seared into my memory.

I blame the Black Monoliths.
If you squint at the picture you can make them out.
