Jupiter’s Clouds in Motion

Via Emily’s blog, here is a fantastic effort by Björn Jónsson and Ian Regan, who went back to old Voyager 1 Jupiter flyby images, reprojected then so that the Great Red Spot was in one place, and let us get a good look at the incredible weather patterns swirling and whirling of this Giant.  At least what they were doing in 1979.  Cue the disco music!
