Look, it said, you can really see how oblate Jupiter is!Īh, yes, brain. ![]() After all, this is a magnificent photo of Jupiter, and better than professional telescopes could do when I was a kid and first fell in love with astronomy!īut then my brain made up for its jackassery by coming up with a fun thought indeed. I have to admit, when I saw it, my first thought was, “Oh, that’s nice, but where’s all the fun stuff?!” My brain can be a jerk, sometimes. This isn’t an unusual view of the planet -the spot is on the far side half the time, after all!- but it’s just not the shot you usually see posted. No moons or moon shadows are visible, either. They’re on the other side of the planet, making Jupiter look oddly naked. It’s not the Jupiter you usually see, because the famous Great Red Spot (and the somewhat less famous Oval BA) are not visible.
