3D map of #exoplanet #atmosphere shows wacky climate
#Astronomers have mapped the 3D structure of the layered atmosphere of one such ultra-hot #Jupiter-size exoplanet, revealing powerful winds that create intricate #weather patterns across that atmosphere.
"This planet’s atmosphere behaves in ways that challenge our understanding of how weather works."
#Astronomy and #Astrophysics reported on unexpected identification of #titanium in the exoplanet's atmosphere as well.

🪷 (Art by #AntoniusSubia) ... As the Sun enters #Aries at the March #Equinox, we honor #Antinous in his special guise as #Antinoos #Mars. Mars, God of War, son of #Jupiter and #Juno, father of #Romulus and #Remus, founders of Rome, was the divine spirit of the Roman Army. His power ran like molten steel in the blood of Romans who he made them invincible. Mars energy flows through all LGBTQIA+ people and empowers us to stand up to fight for justice and equality.

Astronomie geht auch am Nachmittag. Nicht nur die Sonne, auch alle inneren Planeten + Jupiter sind problemlos (mit einem 7" Teleskop) am Himmel zu sehen.

Daytime Astronomy. Not only the Sun, but also all other bright Planets are easily (within reason and through a 7" telescope) visible in broad daylight.

It's the Day of Zeus / Jupiter's Day / Thorsday! ⚡

"The surname Homagyrios (the Assembler) was given to #Zeus because in this place Agamemnon assembled the most eminent men in Greece, in order that they might consult together how to make war on the empire of Priamos [of Troy]."
Pausanias, Description of Greece 7.24.2

Cyclones at Jupiter's North Pole

Explanation:
Why are there so many cyclones around the north pole of Jupiter? The topic is still being researched. NASA's robotic Juno mission orbiting Jupiter took data in 2018 that was used to construct this stunning view of the curious cyclones at Jupiter's north pole. Measuring the thermal emission from Jovian cloud tops, the infrared observations are not restricted to the hemisphere illuminated by sunlight. They reveal eight cyclonic features that surround a cyclone about 4,000 kilometers in diameter, just offset from the giant planet's geographic north pole. Similar data show a cyclone at the Jovian south pole with five circumpolar cyclones. The south pole cyclones are slightly larger than their northern cousins. Oddly, data from the once Saturn-orbiting Cassini mission has shown that Saturn's north and south poles each have only a single cyclonic storm system.
