June 22, 2008: Jupiter grows new spots

This actually appeared as an APOD nearly a month ago, but if you haven't seen it before, it's new to you.

As we debate global warming, here's one piece of evidence that climate change may be coming from the Sun, not (entirely?) from man's activity on Earth: climate change is apparently happening on other planets. Mars has seen a half-degree C increase in the last 40 years. And now, apparently, the iconic big red spot on Jupiter has gained two buddies; the first in 2006 and the second only more recently. Apparently this is due to climate change on Jupiter.

I think this is the Vincent Van Gogh painting "Breakfast" that just sold for a gazillion bucks in Australia.

Jupiter's got new red spots on its face? It's not climate change, it's just Prom night.

Hey!! Jupiter is billions of years old. Give it a break. If YOU were in the sun for that long without sun block, you'd have spots on your surface too!

jupiter's got skin cancer.. perfect advertisment material for a new government health warning..

Any word on how the moon being made out of green cheese will impact our petroleum dependancy?

My understanding is that both smaller red spots will eventually merge, and join the Great Red Spot, causing an outbreak of planetary acne across the planet's face. NASA has planned a mission to Jupiter to study this event with a new type of spacecraft, zoned interplanetary traveller series, or ZITS.

Mmmm. Aigs!

Mmm, mmm! I likes me some aigs. Wakey wakey, aigs & bakey!!:yum: :yum:

I'm confused.... I don't get it... what exactly am I supposed to buy now? Who am I supposed to judge harshly???

Oh, same as before... this is just proof that we've screwed up Jupiter too.

f'ing bush.
