Well that looks a hell of a lot better than my photo!

I got a shot of Jupiter and its 4 moons about a month ago through the telescope of a local observatory. I had never seen through a telescope before this really, it blew my mind!

This image took like 15 minutes of screwing around with a phone camera through a 30,000$ telescope eyepiece in the dark. The little one next to it is Io :slightly_smiling_face:

Interesting time-lapse clip from Hubble showing the 2015 transits of three of Jupiter’s moons across the face of the planet:

It’s those contract builders shipped in on Shoemaker-Levy finally getting to the roof re-tiling phase.

Maybe the aliens sitting under a superhurricane for 300 years are happy its finally ending.
