Sharpening up Jupiter

An infrared image of Jupiter taken with the Multi-Conjugate Adaptive Optics Demonstrator instrument on ESO’s Very Large Telescope. Details are 300km wide. Infrared imaging of Jupiter allows astronomers to learn more about the depth of the clouds on the planet.

It’s true, our mere existence is a miracle. 

The cosmos is all that is or was or ever will be. Our feeblest contemplations of the cosmos stir us - there is a tingling in the spine, a catch in the voice, a faint sensation as if a distant memory, of falling from a height. We know we are approaching the greatest of mysteries.
