The planet itself does this as well... "...Jupiter radiates nearly twice as much heat as it receives from the Sun."

Jupiter is by far the most interesting planet (with it's moons) to me, other than the Earth.
More information as well as pictures can be found on NASA's site for the planet itself.
Interesting is our nature to see familiar shapes/structures in constellations and images of other planets and moons. It seems we have also, in general, created the goal of exploration and discovery on those planets. Paramount in this pursuit is the search for life and, as its prerequisite (so far as we can tell), water. With the discovery of water comes the viability of visiting mars and personally exploring it. The human need for a frontier seems very much alive and well.
