A soap bubble with increased colors?

I'm no scientist, butt I believe that is an image of Jupiter's Uranus

[–] Sunlightl@fedia.io 39 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Slightly adjusted desktop background

Slightly adjusted desktop background of initial image. Jupiter over star field.

I can practically hear the Cortex Command theme when it's portrayed like this

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 7 points 10 hours ago

That looks like a lot of storms

"girls go to college to get more knowledge, boys go to Jupiter to get more stupider"

Kids say this to each other

[–] BeatTakeshi@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

Thanks ! Never heard it before

[–] 13igTyme@lemmy.world 4 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Some of us went to Mars, to get candy bars.

And I went to Venus, to get more...

I don't get it, do you mind explaining?

[–] kshade@lemmy.world 29 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago) (2 children)

It's a thing kids say to taunt each other, "girls go to college to get more knowledge, boys go to Jupiter, to get more stupider".

Ah, got it, thank you!

[–] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 16 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

...or vice versa, usually depending on the taunter's gender.

Also, see xkcd 1202 and 2771

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 11 hours ago

Now I've got a hankering for pamplemousse 😄

[–] abfarid@startrek.website 13 points 14 hours ago (3 children)

Isn't that artificially colored?

[–] Zetta@mander.xyz 18 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago) (1 children)

Ya, but I rather think about it as an 'enhanced spectrum' image. The structures you see are all real and similarly coloured, it's just enhanced

[–] FinalRemix@lemmy.world 13 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Ahh, yes. Crank the saturation, crush the shadows, and blast the highlights.

[–] blarghly@lemmy.world 13 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Jupiter's gonna have a bomb tinder profile now

Almost all gas giant images are

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago

Yeah. Neptune's a dull grey.

[–] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 5 points 12 hours ago

The famous Jupiter one isn't.

[–] lemming@sh.itjust.works 3 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Not quite. It's based on real wavelenths detected, but they might've been arificially assigned colours (although I think the images this is based on sort of correspond to human perception). But the colours are massively adjusted and contrast increased way past the point I would consider reasonable.

[–] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 hours ago

These images are mindblowing. Bring me back down to Earth? Do you have a favorite image with reasonable coloring and contrast?

[–] salacious_coaster@infosec.pub 11 points 15 hours ago (3 children)
[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 5 hours ago

the storms, and different chemical/compositions im guessing.

[–] Zwiebel@feddit.org 9 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago)

There are jet winds circling around Jupiter westwards and ones that are circling the other way, which creates turbulence, and there are ginormous thunderstorms as well

Mmnm I bet there's chocolate nugat and bipedal organisms in there

[–] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 5 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

Definitely flat too
