time to turn inward and listen to our personal wisdom

slow down and ask yourself if what you’re doing is working

consider new perspectives

unexpected opportunities will present themselves

every opportunity you receive is a chance to learn something

gain insight into what is/isn’t working in personal relationships (♃♎)

Everyone is familiar with Jupiter’s great red spot, but did you know Jupiter also has a series of smaller white storms called pearls? Currently there are 8, but anywhere between 6-9 of them have been witnessed over the last three decades. Pretty cool, right?

More about: Jupiter ✧ The other planets

“Jupiter, you were larger than life, unfathomable to my small-town sensibilities. My heart couldn’t comprehend all of you at once. But this wasn’t my first rodeo; life had hurled love at me before. Step one of my plan: play hard to get. But, fuck, you called me and I came flying like an asteroid. So I chucked plans and lists out the window for you, threw my heart into your hands. Good thing you’re a good catch as well as a catch. Spontaneous lover, you danced and made up the steps as you went along. We kissed like giggling teenagers, we gossiped like cackling old women. You taught me rap songs, you took me to playgrounds at midnight so I could look at the star streaked sky while you pushed the swing higher and higher, until I was floating, until I felt as infinite as you. You kissed me until I tasted lightning.”

Storms are present all over Jupiter’s surface, here’s some on it’s Northern pole captured by Juno. This photo was taken with the spacecraft only 18,906 kilometres away from Jupiter’s clouds.

Swirling bands of light and dark clouds on Jupiter are seen in this image made by citizen scientists using data from our Juno spacecraft. Each of the alternating light and dark atmospheric bands in this image is wider than Earth, and each rages around Jupiter at hundreds of miles (km) per hour. The lighter areas are regions where gas is rising, and the darker bands are regions where gas is sinking. This image was acquired on May 19, 2017 from about 20,800 miles (33,400km) above Jupiter’s cloud tops. Learn more
