I had no idea that we were collecting this amazing data. Hooray for the scientists! Jupiter is like a fabulous jewel in this video, throwing off gorgeous colors, swirling storms, bands and auroras and coruscating lightning.

Knowing that humanity is capable of such mind-blowing technology and effective curiosity, it really_is painful to contemplate all the stupid, cruel, pointless waste going on in this planet. We could be working together to explore the universe like this , and instead we seem determined to blow ourselves up.

Sorry to go dark on that. It really is quite a wonderful post, and I’m very grateful that you shared this. It has made tonight’s bout of insomnia quite worthwhile. Thank you!
