The Juno mission to Jupiter has produced images that may become the most iconic shots of our solar system's largest planet, in addition to incredibly valuable science. Some of the most memorable photos so far have shown us the gas giant's swirling, inky atmosphere. It's hard not to compare what's come back to a painting because of the surreally gorgeous patterns flowing through the planet's atmosphere.
This new image shared by NASA comes from the spacecraft's close approach to Jupiter back on February 17 of this year. The image, processed by citizen scientist Gerald Eichstädt, shows mysterious bands that run through the center of the image. They've been spotted as far back as 2016, but scientists aren't exactly sure what the streaks are. NASA says the streaks are "layers of haze particles that float above the underlying cloud features." There's been speculation that they're influenced by jetstreams that exist on either side of the bands.

Juno was about 15,610 miles above the planet's atmosphere when it took this photo on its 25th close flyby.
The spacecraft will continue taking photos, among other things, once every 53 days until July 2021, at the earliest.
The MonoRacer 130E Fully Enclosed Motorcycle Aims to Redefine Personal Mobility Elena Gorgan The idea of making something that would be halfway between a bicycle or motorcycle and a car is not new; after all, the advantages of such a vehicle would be many for a large segment of the market. In the Czech Republic, inventor, fabricator and full-time pilot Arnold Wagner has been making one such vehicle since the late ‘80s. Since 2009, with a new partner, he launched the PERAVES CZ company, and they’ve been putting out these cabin-motorcycles dubbed MonoRacer since then. They probably haven’t sold more than a couple of hundred of them (90 of which were made before the 2009 partnership), but that could change as early as this month. As it turns out, PERAVES CZ has made an electric version of the MonoRacer, called the MonoRacer 130E, and it is now in the process of receiving EU-certification. The MonoRacer 130E is an electric motorcycle with a fully enclosed cabi...
Maybe the wise and sagacious people on this forum might be able to speculate on the answer. If a vampire bites a zombie, does the zombie become a vampire or the vampire become a zombie? Then we have one of them time paradox questions: If you take an object back in time and leave it there, where did it originally come from? AND one more just for the fun of it.......... If we’re all unique, doesn’t that make being unique not unique?
