Jupiter loses one of its stripes and scientists are stumped as to why. - Logan Darklighter - 05-13-2010
O... kay...
Quote:The largest planet in our solar system is usually dominated by two dark bands in its atmosphere, with one in the northern hemisphere and one in the southern hemisphere.
However, the most recent images taken by amateur astronomers have revealed the lower stripe known as the Southern Equatorial Belt has disappeared leaving the southern half of the planet looking unusually bare.
The band was present in at the end of last year before Jupiter ducked behind the Sun on its orbit. However, when it emerged three months later the belt had disappeared.

Well, they say that it loses or gains a ring every now and then, so it's not an unknown phenomenon.

I can only imagine how the 2012 end-of-days-apocalyptic nutjobs, douche-bags and other assorted heads-of-knuckle are taking this.

You really expect them to play attention to real astronomy?

Only when it supports their theories. Just like Creationists.

I'm just waiting for the inevitable fanart of Makoto being teased by the other Senshi as she desperatly tries to conceal the parts no longer covered by her "lower stripe".

Oddly enough, I don't think anyone's mentioned it over in Shadowjack's current thread. Lord knows, there's plenty of opportunity to do art over there
