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.

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