It’s been too long since I added anything! Woops!
Today’s APOD is worth a visit. The following images are hand-drawn observations of Jupiter taken at the eye piece of a telescope; what an amazing talent. It’s beautiful to see such a crisp and detailed image of the planet!
Taking it even further, a fellow named Pascal Chauvet took these images and animated them into a simulation of the planet as it might be observed as it rotated. Too fine!
