Jupiter Sees (More) Red

Whoa! One of Jupiter's white spots turned red!

The red comes from the storm picking up sulfur from a lower atmospheric zone and the chemical reaction turns the entire storm red. Not quite sure how envirobats will spin this freak storm as a product of global warming.

    Even though my degree is in astrophysics, most introductory astronomy courses waste a lot of time on the solar system, which I haven't studied since high school. Now, if you had questions on star formation, relativity, galactic structure, and cosmology, I would be your man.

    Ha! I bet it was a no-bid contract for natural gas-mining too!
