It's cold in space

[Anima]

New high-resolution maps of Jupiter have provided the best evidence yet that the planet's Great Red Spot – the biggest storm in the Solar System – is shrinking.

Scientists led by Xylar Asay-Davis at the University of California, Berkeley, collected both new and historical data from instruments mounted on space probes such as Galileo and Cassini and used it to create detailed maps of wind speeds in the planet's atmosphere.

"We have shown much more definitively [than before] that the Great Red Spot has been shrinking over the past decade," said Davis, based at the university's Computational Fluid Dynamics Laboratory.

I always wanted to see what that storm was like in the middle of it. It would be so cool if they could build a camera that could withstand Jupiters pressure long enough to get some really good video inside the storm, maybe an hour or twos worth.

I think the the red spot is shrinking because of gobal warming.

She packed my bags last night pre-flight
Zero hour nine a.m.
And i'm gonna be high as a kite by then
I miss the earth so much i miss my wife
It's lonely out in space
On such a timeless flight

And i think it's gonna be a long long time
Till touch down brings me round again to find
I'm not the man they think i am at home
Oh no no no i'm a rocket man
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone


Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids
In fact it's cold as hell
And there's no one there to raise them if you did
And all this science i don't understand
It's just my job five days a week
A rocket man, a rocket man

I was thinking of that song too, but I'm glad you posted it, otherwise I never would have known William Shatner had sung it.

Yeah, a classic performance!

Amusingly, when I saw the thread title and that you had posted in the thread, I figured you had beaten me to posting those lyrics.
