 :D   I'm jealous of Martians - they get a much better view of Jupiter than we do!    :D

Jupiter as viewed from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter:

When you put people in charge of the government who are committed to proving that it doesn't work, you can be sure that they will cause it to not work.

Yeah right now it looks like, but sometimes they are way far away from each other.

Well now that's true.  :)    They get closer to Jupiter than we do, but they get farther away from it than we do too.

Now the ones with the really good view of Jupiter are the Galilean moons.      :D    Cold though!    :-\

If you were a moon of Jupiter, which one would you want to be?

I want to be Io - volcanic - tempestuous - dramatic  :laugh:

I'd want to be Gannymead, that's one of them I think.

"Ganymede has had a complex geological history. It has mountains, valleys, craters and lava flows. Ganymede is mottled by both light and dark regions. It is heavily cratered especially in the dark regions implying ancient origin."

A perfect choice for you, my friend, a complex ancient soul.

Imagine how complex the sky is from Ganymede!  You've got huge Jupiter of course, and 3 other big moons constantly coming and going, and at least a dozen tiny ones ...

Plus 4 planets closer to the sun (one of which is a double planet!!    :o  ), and Saturn to the outside.

Astrologers there must have a really difficult job!!         :D
