Jupiter loses one of its stripes

...global warming... Arghhh this is what I was going to write .. el Nino effect.

so why did nobody predict this one? All these profhecies nowadays, seers, clairvoyants, cyclical time calculators and what-have-ya, and no-one mentioning a word about this? Looks pretty cosmic as an event. Well considering it loses and regains one of it's belts every 10 - 15 years, as reported in the article, i wouldn't call that a major cosmic event.

It is possible that a huge meteorite crashed into Jupiter, changed the pattern of the enviroment, which caused a stripe disappear? only a opinion

It is possible that a huge meteorite crashed into Jupiter, changed the pattern of the enviroment, which caused a stripe disappear? only a opinion Unlikely. A meteor could mess with a localized part of the atmosphere and kick dust into the upper atmosphere, but those convection cells might go DEEP. Lots of energy to disrupt and move around.

I can't wait to see what it looks like when all the rings and clouds have dissapeared. Indeed LMFAO Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest!!!!

Jupiter loses one of its stripes? Has it been demoted? Is it now merely a private, then?

In a development that has transformed the appearance of the solar system's largest planet, one of Jupiter's two main cloud belts has completely disappeared. "This is a big event," says planetary scientist Glenn Orton of NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab. "We're monitoring the situation closely and do not yet fully understand what's going on." Known as the South Equatorial Belt (SEB), the brown cloudy band is twice as wide as Earth and more than twenty times as long. The loss of such an enormous "stripe" can be seen with ease halfway across the solar system. Read more...

It's been demoted

Great Find TFF ! I just Love Looking and Thinking about Jupiter!

This is very old news. I'm going to merge this with the thread from May on the same subject. It's been demoted This is a very old joke. 747400 made it back in May.
