Juno Spacecraft Reveals Spectacular Cyclones At Jupiter's Poles (arstechnica.com)
Joe Palca reports via NPR: NASA's Juno spacecraft has spotted giant cyclones swirling at Jupiter's north and south poles. That's just one of the unexpected and puzzling findings being reported by the Juno science team. Juno arrived at Jupiter last summer. It's the first spacecraft to get a close-up look at the planet's poles. It's in an orbit that takes it skimming close to the cloud tops of the gas giant once every 53 days. After each close pass, the spacecraft sends a trove of data back to Earth. Ultimately, scientists will want to understand how these cyclones change over time and whether they form differently in the north and south poles. Another puzzle that Juno is supposed to help solve is whether Jupiter, a gas giant, has a solid core. Another surprise from Juno is the concentration of ammonia in Jupiter's atmosphere. Scientists thought ammonia was most likely distributed evenly throughout the atmosphere. The data show there's more ammonia near the equator than there is at other latitudes.
green for life has new (wmd) meaning now? cease fire stand down.. tears in the sky until the moms can stop crying finally... good sports with good spirits to prevail..
Are these God damn Poles everywhere now?
Can someone tell me what a "trove" is in Libraries of Congress or Encyclopedia Britannicas please? (Or is it "Encyclopedias Britannica"?)
I was certain we'd be able to know whether or not Jupiter has a solid core by now, and the ammonia distribution in the atmosphere.
Some of the articles linked in the past have "probably artistic renditions" of brand new planets up until now unheard of. We even already have a good idea of what their makeup, and appearance are.
DUH!!! We should point the equipment they're using to spot exo-planets at Jupiter!
WHO IS SETH RICH?
A CALL TO ACTION: "THEY" HAVE COMPLETELY LOST CONTROL OF THE SETH RICH MURDER COVERUP. HERE IS HOW YOU BLOW IT COMPLETELY OPEN:
Write "Who killed Seth Rich" and / or "Who is Seth Rich" neatly on every piece of U.S. currency you get your hands on, neatly, in indelible ink, preferably with a fine point sharpie that does not draw thick. Spend the cash as usual. Anyone who ends up with that cash will be hit with that question, and is likely to become interested in finding out what happened (if they don't already know)
The MSM can claim it is a hoax all they want, and they will still lose. They can't win this, it is GAME OVER for them. With the internet getting censored, and the media full of lies, this is how we do it.
Obviously Google is going to kick in the manipulation, to drive people to an approved answer to that question. So you can additionally kill this by writing "google sethrichdoc.jpg". The photo I put on my site has been picked up everywhere and is the top hit on Google even though Google won't show you this site as the source. That will explain it ALL while the MSM lies, and google spews for officialdom.
HA HA HA, take a look at this!
They are not fooling ANYONE with ISIS anymore
A couple days ago I reported about how ISIS (tm) had invaded the Philippines. Well, RT just covered the story. Here's some text, AND LOOK AT THE COMMENTS!
Here is some article text:
"The Maute group confronting the Philippine army in Marawi City is no longer considered a local terrorist organization as it has been reinforced by jihadists of Malaysian, Indonesian and "other nationalities, " the country's authorities have announced.
"Before it was just a local terrorist group. But now they have subscribed to the ideology of ISIS. They want to make Mindanao as part of the caliphate, " Solicitor General Jose Calida told a news conference, according to Reuters.
"What's happening in Mindanao is no longer a rebellion of Filipino citizens" but "has transmogrified into an invasion by foreign terrorists who heeded the clarion call of the ISIS to go to the Philippines if they find difficulty in going to Iraq or Syria, " Calida added, as cited by InterAksyon news.
Now look at the comments!
"As Philippines aligned towards China and Russia, US has activated its powerful operatives "ISIS", to create disturbance in Philippines."
"He learned from his CIA class every terrorist need a adversary and every adversary needs a terrorist"
"USA is a terrorist Country. NATO is a terrorist organization"
" no comment you, re right mate absolutely 100%"
"Duterte starts to have better relations with China and Russia - ISIS suddenly appears...."
"Yeah. I'm surprised the regime change plan hasn't been enacted by now. It will start with protests in Manila followed by a violent, US-backed coup complete with US-paid mercenaries."
"Trained in Syria by the CIA and MOSSAD"
"Trained in Saudi Arabia and Jordan, not Syria."
"Trained in Turkey as well"
"Any of them wearing George Soros T-shirts?"
"Oi Vey; I wonder who could possibly be behind this...."
" The shekel masters?"
"Like clockwork - Phillipines move away from USA influence and then they get terrorists, who have been supported by USA in the middle east"
"We Jews are the destroyers. We will always be the destroyers. Nothing you do will ever meet our needs and demands." - Maurice Samuel
"and they question China building defenses right in the middle of the zone. China patrols the sea to try and prevent pirate terrorists doing business. The US patrols shouting its big mouth."
" China should patrol the South China Sea , quietly escorting any American Navy vessels . China should also be very careful with Pakistan , its military officers are Wahhabi . They used to do intel for Saudi Arabia. However the biggest threat to China is its recent "interest" in GMO foods. Only Japan has done studies for longer than 3 months . Banned across Europe and Russia , etc."

. . . . causing Jovian Warming!
"The early data are suggesting the presence of a core," Lunine says. "But not a discreet core. It seems that it's fuzzy." He says more data should help provide a more precise understanding than fuzzy.
The core is being very discreet, hiding under all those clouds so we can't see it, and being very unobtrusive. It's not like it's out there waving itself around for everyone to see. I guess it leaves that to the flashy cloud layers and the Great Red Spot, which is a discrete formation that's been known for some time.
It doesn't take a lot of brain power to realize all gas giants have a solid core. If a single meteor crashes into it, eventually that meterial makes it's way to the center and yu have a solid core.
many will argue the intense winds will always destroy meteors and keep the material in the atmosphere, but at some point, some material will make it out of the storm and settle in the center.
The caption for the cool picture says "This image shows Jupiter's south pole, as seen by NASA's Juno spacecraft from an altitude of 32,000 miles. The oval features are cyclones, up to 600 miles in diameter."
With a diameter of ~86,000 mi, some of those ovoids are easily 5000 mi across, not "up to 600mi in diameter" - am I missing something, or are they only talking about teeny circles? Or did they just drop a zero?

Previous models suggested that massive collisions somehow ejected a large amount of Jupiter's core, leaving it undersized compared to Saturn. Those models are likely getting some updates with this new data. https://www.newscientist.com/a... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sci...
What a freaky cool looking event... series of events. That so very much doesn't look like the Jupiter I am familiar with. It's just fascinating. Now to read up on the science behind it to really enjoy this discovery completely.
