Episode 23: Jupiter

Chris and Mr Max are out under a beautifully clear winter sky, looking at Jupiter and talking about its enormous (but shrinking) red spot. New results from the Juno spacecraft (https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/jupiters-great-red-spot-is-surprisingly-deep/) teach us about this long lived storm, and provide a surprising connection to lego. Mr Max is keen for speed, and is not to be distracted by anything on this pleasingly lovely evening. Many more images from the Juno mission are available here: https://www.missionjuno.swri.edu/ Amazing views of Jupiter from a small telescope from Damian Peach, the king of planetary imaging here: https://www.damianpeach.com/jup22.htm Some gorgeous sketches in this article from my old colleague Paul Abel: https://britastro.org/2017/observers-challenge-jupiters-great-red-spot
