Another family portrait of Jupiter and its Galilean Moons.

Despite the lack of details, looking at those four little dots appearing and disappearing while they are dancing around the planet, is a nice experience: definitely one of my favourite views of our Solar System.

Needless to say, also Jupiter’s atmosphere is always charming, even in black and white colors.

After a long time I got a nice view of the Great Red Spot and the cloud structures around it. It has been an opportunity to acquire a “large” amount of frames in a short time: 25000 frames in about 2 minutes, avoiding the use of WinJupos to derotate the image. Generally speaking about the final image I’m aware it’s not a perfect result, but still decent.

It's the #DayOfZeus / Jupiter's Day / Thorsday! ⚡

"#Zeus, though your ears be ever full of the fears of suppliants or the thanks of those whose prayers you have heard, hearken to me too and grant me by a true promise that this be the end of my exile, and that I may dwell in my native land, my long labours over."
Anthologia Graeca, Epigram 9.7

Evening twilight shows the bright stars of the winter constellations setting in the west. Two 'guests' are also in the frame...the moon (grossly overexposed), and Jupiter below it.

Cirrus clouds are moving in from the west, but only block the brightest parts of the twilight sky near the horizon.

The lights of La Luz shine at the bottom of the frame, right of center.

This is a wide angle image (APS-C sensor, 12mm lens), taken on a fixed tripod.

I took a series of images that started in bright twilight and continued to full night. I chose this image because it didn't show too many stars (easier to identify constellations), yet it was mixed with a nice gradient of twilight that was fairly bright near the horizon (with touches of orange and yellow) and rather dark up high.

"This result suggests that in Jupiter-like orbits, most planetary systems may not mirror our solar system," said co-author Youn Kil Jung of the Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute, which operates the KMTNet."

I'm thinking big ol' Jupiter might hold the key as to why the inner Solar System is the way it is and why it's different from most other systems we know of so far.

"If anyone blame me because, a skilled servant of Eros, I go to the chase, my eyes armed with birdlime to catch ladies, let him know that #Zeus and #Hades and the Lord of the Sea [#Poseidon] were slaves of violent desire. If the gods are such and they bid men follow their example, what wrong do I do in learning their deeds?"
Anthologia Graeca, Epigram 5.100
