Fascinating land formations on Mars

Can’t. Stop. Looking. 

Top: The first color movie of Jupiter from NASA’s Cassini spacecraft shows what it would look like to peel the entire globe of Jupiter, stretch it out on a wall into the form of a rectangular map, and watch its atmosphere evolve with time. The brief movie clip spans 24 Jupiter rotations between Oct. 31 and Nov. 9, 2000.

Bottom: This brief movie shows counterclockwise atmospheric motion around Jupiter’s Great Red Spot. The clip was made from blue-filter images taken with the narrow-angle camera on NASA’s Cassini spacecraft during seven separate rotations of Jupiter between Oct. 1 and Oct. 5, 2000. 

If you found an iPad under the tree or an iTunes gift card in your stocking, make the most of it by getting over 850 images just as beautiful as these in our Cassini HD app for iPad. Or Angry Birds. That’s fun too.

Just the right size to carry most tablets (or even some old-school paper books), these bucket bags are available from my Thinx Shop.

These are just a few of the new images we’ve added to our app Cassini HD for iPad in our new update available today.
