Jupiters Cloud Formatons Changing

[Ingo]

Looks like Jupiters Cloud Formatons are changing rapidly and very noticable. Maybe Iceman or somebody could compare pictures from recent and a few months ago.

yes, the changes seem to be weekly.

there are outbreaks (more like out bursts) all over the shop. The GRS has is no longer attached to the SEB (i think it is)

it is very very dynamic

Jupiter's obviously about to turn into a star. It was predicted in Arthur C. Clark's 2010 - Odyssey 2.

"The Leonov crew make a hasty exit from Jupiter, observing as the swarm of monoliths spread to engulf Jupiter. Through a mechanism the novel only partially explains, these monoliths increase Jupiter's density until the planet achieves nuclear fusion, becoming a small star. In the novel, this obliterates the primitive life-forms which had inhabited the Jovian atmosphere, which the Monoliths' controllers had deemed less worthy than the aquatic life of Europa."

I believe Coronado are planning to produce a high-magnification version of the PST for future Jupiter observations.

Wonder if there are accompanying changes in Jupiter's radio emissions?
