I don’t have much time but I wanted to share these images taken by the probe Voyager I way back in 1979. Hard to believe these are forty years old but I guess that’s a mere eyeblink in astronomical time. These are of the Great Red Spot on the planet Jupiter with the one at the top having Europa, a moon of Jupiter, in front of it.
The bottom is a little more detailed view of the Great Red Spot. I wish I had the ability to paint in the way this image comes off. Whenever I stumble across these images, I am astounded at their abstract beauty.


I don’t remember seeing these particular images. They’re beautiful, and compelling. They look rather like William Blake illustrations.
Jupiters bands and spots have always amazed me.
Check out some of the pics from Juno that is currently in orbit and sending back some dazzling stuff.
