An interesting chunk of what I believe is epidosite that I found at work.

No, if I remember correctly, it’s a bit smaller than North America.

A large storm on a gas giant. NASA/JPL-Caltech/SwRI/MSSS/Kevin M. Gill
A large storm in Jupiter’s mid northern latitudes seen by the Juno spacecraft on April 15, 2021 during Perijove 33.

A view from above of a large cyclonic storm that is mainly a grey colour, set against a swirling backdrop of more bluish smaller storms. At the 12 o'clock position in the large storm is a small point of green light, which is a lightning bolt. This scene is on Jupiter.
This is a lightning bolt in a storm.
On Jupiter.
That’s awesome! Looking forward to reading it

Cloudy martian afternoon over the Perseverance Rover on Sol 1635 (yestersol).

Heh, I should do a writeup on what you see in the Mars instruments…
Yeah, the circular shape is from the abrasion tool which makes a ~2 inch wide mark. Part of the rock was deeper than the tool and cuts across the hole. The camera was centered on some parts bordering the hole that were chipped away

Think of a beautiful sunset that’s partially obscured by a cloud, but it’s actually just a rock with a circular hole drilled in it. NASA/JPL-Caltech/Kevin M. Gill
An interesting shot of part of the latest abrasion patch and surrounding rock face taken by the Mars Perseverance Rover yestersol (sol 1634). Natural color but I did enhance the contrast and sharpness some.

Yesterday Curiosity took pix of jagged peaks in the distance with its ChemCam. I stitched them together, did some work on them, and... just look at that view... I've been doing this since Sojourner landed & this is one of my fave images ever... Credits: NASA/JPL-Caltech/LANL/S Atkinson
