Meanwhile, Jupiter Suffers Break-Out Just In Time For Summer

I'm not sure most people realize how large Jupiter is. (I'm also not sure people really understand how large Earth is, either, but that's a completely different topic.) Anyway, Jupiter has developed two new giant storms near its famous "Great Red Spot". Just so you're all aware, the Great Red Spot is more than two Earth diameters across. Apparently if the little one that sits in the same band continues to move toward the Big Guy they will collide sometime in August. I'm so excited about this.

i'm assuming a "Uranus" comment would be inappropriate and unprofessional of me, eh?

Steve drunkenly informed me last night that Jupiter is The Only planet in our solar system that rhymes with Stupider!
