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 all right I could've gone and got your number from 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!
