These pictures of Jupiter taken by the Juno spacecraft are fucking with my emotions; I remember avidly staring at grainy black and white photos of the planets when I was very little. Absolutely breathtaking #astronomy
@StarStuffSister this is surreal. It looks like pure unmixed paint.
@minitrope Totally my thought- that it looked like some sort of divine art room accident
@StarStuffSister the advancements in resolution are incredible. All the Attenborough nature specials now are quantum leaps ahead of where they were in 2001-02. Wonders literally never cease.
@a9ymous And it's a similarly cool comparison bc he's been a naturalist forever and the old black and white stuff of him when he was young compared to now is incredible
@StarStuffSister the Making Of episode of BP2 is my favorite, new respect for what the contributors and crew do to make it happen and how much it's pushing forward our understanding *and appreciation* of the other life forms on our planet.
@a9ymous Nature documentaries, behind cartoons aimed at adults, are my favorite thing to watch. I couldn't agree more
@StarStuffSister Whoa it's like a spinoff from analytical cubism
@StarStuffSister My heart still aches every time I see this photograph of Jupiter:
@StarStuffSister I used to have a cleaner version of this but can't find it now.
@StarStuffSister That first one is very - Vincent. Quite amazing.
@StarStuffSister Woah! Am I the only one who think it looks like that Van Goth painting of the starry sky?!
Lol. Just saw the other comments. Of course I'm not the only one! :D
@narF Nope, someone else mentioned that too; I remember thinking so as well. It's unreal- like a real version of what he painted.
@StarStuffSister do they use AI to sharpen the photos? it has the same unnerving quality as deep dream images
@StarStuffSister The photos from Juno are stunning. DAE feel a profound sadness when looking at photos of other planets?
@StarStuffSister
Phenomenal view. I like that.

Vapors over Jovian

@StarStuffSister I thought that it was abstract art before reading the toot.
@StarStuffSister
That's some crazy-violent weather!
@StarStuffSister jupiter is a fucking beauty. Like a psychodelic painting ♥️
@StarStuffSister wow. I love how fluids behave the same at planetary scales as in a cup of coffee. So cool.
@StarStuffSister that first once is a close up of chopped lettuce, don't try to fool me

@StarStuffSister
I kinda love that the whole point of JunoCam was to make all of the Jupiter images public so that anyone can play with them.

I may have gotten carried away once or twice...
