When I spotted this image of Jupiter on NASA’s website, I felt a bit disoriented.

At first glance, it looked like a fanciful artist’s conception of the giant planet. But it’s actually a real image of Jupiter’s south polar region, acquired by the Juno spacecraft. (Make sure to click on it, and then click again to enlarge it.)

I think I can say I've seen pure happiness.

Or something that's humbled me.

Thank you so much.
