It seems the first image in the article is:
“views of Jupiter in (left to right) infrared and visible light taken by the Gemini North telescope and NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope, respectively.”
Any links to Juno pics?
- dotancohen 5y agoThat picture stopped my in my tracks. It looks like Jupiter started fusing hydrogen. I thought for a second that I didn't loose a year to COVID, rather a billion.
- perihelions 5y agoI'm suddenly very curious what a marginally-fusing brown dwarf looks like on its surface. Are the cloudtops roiling with convection, like a boiling pot?

- diggernet 5y agoI've heard Jupiter described as a failed star, and that it emits more energy than it receives from the sun. That IR photo sure seems to support the idea.
