[SCIENCE!] This pic of Jupiter is awesome

[Mook]

Three moons and their shadows parade across Jupiter near the end of the event at 07:10 UT on January 24, 2015. Europa has entered the frame at lower left. Slower-moving Callisto is above and to the right of Europa. Fastest-moving Io is approaching the eastern limb of the planet. Europa's shadow is toward the left side of the image and Callisto's shadow to the right. (The moons' orbital velocities are proportionally slower with increasing distance from the planet.)

Every time I see thing like this, about how immense is the universe it reminds me how small we humas are trapped in one tiny planet. Then my problems smooth out I little bit and I feel a relief.

Somewhere out there in the vast nothingness of space...
Somewhere far away in space and time..
Staring upwards at the gleaming stars in the obsidian sky
We're marooned on a small island,
In an endless sea,
Confined to a tiny spit of sand,
Unable to escape

That's an amazing photo.

Stunning. Sometimes, I feel like people have trouble grasping that this stuff is actually out there, floating about, not just made up.

That awkward moment when you're born too late to explore the Earth and too early to explore space. Looks like we just gotta stick to exploring the internet.

Could you imagine being on the surface with all that fucking gas

We have barely explored earth...there is plenty to discover in our lifetimes

I want to know what creatures are still lurking in our oceans.

Underwater caves would be very interesting too

That's true, it's earth's final frontier.

Pendulum ftw
