ThInk those are “color-enhanced” whatever that means. The raw images are substantially less striking.

Oh, I thought maybe it was actually blue down near the poles where we don’t normally see.

I like how mom doesn’t feel the need to look up from her book. I know it’s just the artist being lazy (like a fox) or whatever, changing just the mouth, but I love it.

Jupiter is beautiful. For so many years all we had was this blurry gasy image of Jupiter. Who knew there was so much detail to be seen? I bet with even higher resolution cameras we would see so much more.

Yeah I’m still miffed they put a glorified webcam on Juno almost as an afterthought.

Here is an ‘approximate true color’ image:

Are they waiting to get fed or something? I can’t imagine that’s comfortable even for monkeys.

It’s a behaviour they show when temperatures get too low. Wolves do that too, if I remember, although it’s less impressive.
