darenw writes "From the Cassini spacecraft's flyby of Jupiter in late 2001, a new mosaic image has been assembled, revealing a stunning amount of detail, beautiful waves, swirls and spots in Jupiter's atmosphere. Get the story and images at the Cassini imaging team website." This is a huge image. My eyeball guess is that each pixel is the size of Pennsylvania.

    Don't blame the submitter. Blame the editor. She's the one that put in that comment (editor comments are non-italicized).
