The image below is not the original from NASA and you can see where to find the original below.
- image was butchered by Silas because Jupiter is at its closest approach and should be looking feisty
See the original at NASA: When Jovian Light and Dark Collide
This image, taken by the JunoCam imager on NASA’s Juno spacecraft, highlights a feature on Jupiter where multiple atmospheric conditions appear to collide.
This publicly selected target is called “STB Spectre.” The ghostly bluish streak across the right half of the image is a long-lived storm, one of the few structures perceptible in these whitened latitudes where the south temperate belt of Jupiter would normally be. The egg-shaped spot on the lower left is where incoming small dark spots make a hairpin turn.
The image was taken on March 27, 2017, at 2:06 a.m. PDT (5:06 a.m. EDT), as the Juno spacecraft performed a close flyby of Jupiter. When the image was taken, the spacecraft was 7,900 miles (12,700 kilometers) from the planet.
The image was processed by Roman Tkachenko, and the description is from John Rogers, the citizen scientist who identified the point of interest.

That is so-o-o beautiful!! Do you print them out and frame em? Reminds me of an Easter egg..the kind ya swirl in oil with the colors :)
Thank you! There's no way to print them so I just like looking at them. That's mostly ok since I never found any way to print photographs which really satisfied me and it became such a hassle with special papers and inks that I didn't want to screw with it anymore. So I like looking at it (larfs).
Jupiter or the good Lord did the swirling ... I just watch. Ha!
Video picture frames solves that problem.
I found that with the digital age and a phone capable of holding tens of thousands of 10+meg pictures. A?single picture seemed pointless.
So now I have frames with SUB drives and 700 or 800 pictures scrolling. The frames are cheap, some are old computer monitors some are small screen TVs
The view is rarely the same each time you pass by them.
Mona Lisa weeps! (larfs)
I see the validity of your point but there's still the consideration of something so excellent it just mustn't be in a slideshow or some such.
It's the tough artistic call since do we see Eisenstadt on a ten-second refresh so we can get a taste of all his work or focus entirely on one piece because it would be sullied by comparison or some such. That's a tough one for sure.
