Father Kit Cool Gun Garth 5,717 Posted February 27 Thanks Joe....awesome pics. Can't get my cellphone to take that great a picture, but then, it didn't cost a billion dollars. Looking at the images, Salvador Dali comes to mind...... 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 4,982 Posted February 27 As I understand it, much of that is not actually visible. Colors are assigned to different wavelengths, then the images are colorized to help interpret what is happening. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sixgun Sheridan 3,219 Posted February 27 (edited) There are colors, but they're a lot more washed out in real life than what these images show. The best image I've seen so far was one taken just a few thousand miles above the atmosphere. You could actually see the varying heights of the cloud tops. EDIT: Actually those pictures are inside the article. . Edited February 27 by Sixgun Sheridan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I get the scientific rationale, but it also makes for beautiful photography which generates public interest which generates tax dollars. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ramblin Gambler 880 Posted February 27 What are those lines in the second picture? Is that something really there, or is that were some pics were being stitched together? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Widder, SASS #59054 5,416 Posted February 27 Kinda funny how ALL the colors are the same colors we have here on Earth. I mean, can't even Jupiter produce its own color schemes? ..........Widder Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
