Why is there something here, instead of nothing? And why are we aware of this question—we people, particles going around and around this black stone? Why are we aware of it?

Annie Dillard, from For the Time Being (Alfred A. Knopf, 1999)

See intricate cloud patterns in the northern hemisphere of Jupiter in this new view taken by NASA’s Juno spacecraft.

The color-enhanced image was taken on April 1 at 2:32 a.m. PST (5:32 a.m. EST), as Juno performed its twelfth close flyby of Jupiter. At the time the image was taken, the spacecraft was about 7,659 miles (12,326 kilometers) from the tops of the clouds of the planet at a northern latitude of 50.2 degrees.

Date the boy of the infinite. He who swirls and twists outside of time. Outside of space. He who would stop the ticking of the clock for you, to spend an eternity with you. He who would turn back the dial, to have another moment before you are gone. Always there, but always not.
