Astronomy Picture of the Day!

Today's astronomy picture is from Jupiter I think.  Jupiter is the biggest planet in the whole world and so far, mankind has been unable to find a way to completely screw it up.  One of the biggest problems facing this unspoken challenge is that Jupiter is so far away from the Sun that scientists hypothesize it could take years to globally warm it.  One method currently proposed by George Bush would be to shoot a laser at it.  His claim that lasers are 'awesome' has spurred scientist around the world to seriously consider them as a viable option in the warming of Jupiter.  Once Jupiter has reached the critical warming point, it is the dream of the world at large that it will do something really cool like sparkle or smoke or something.  Well, it appears to be smoking in this picture, but that's just like a little bit of smoke.  We need to get that whole thing going.

No, that's a popular misconception. I'm the astronomy scientist here. Jupiter is the biggest planet in the whole world. I think Druidia is a little bigger now that the atmosphere has been restored.

Come on Mexicana, how old are you?  Apparently not old enough to recognize a Spaceballs quote.  If you haven't seen it you should check it out, you just made me feel really old.
