edit also this is crazy

the telescope is equipped with a 1.4-gigapixel digital camera – the most powerful digital camera ever built (for now) – meaning it records about 1.4 billion pixels per image.

yeah.. what do i click? just a bunch of stuff

I remember stumbling upon this site! It's a fascinating read. Thanks for sharing it with everyone! I still like the idea of spacecraft that can transverse from vacuum to atmospheric flight, someday, they might actually be close enough of an analogue to be referred to as ships.

This sure as hell looks like Neptune to me, but maybe it's a false color image or not one taken on the visible spectrum?

most likely false since it's from voyager 2

one of my fav channels still... this guy is better than Cosmos

Very unlikely, Jupiter would have to be a lot more massive than just twice its current mass to sustain nuclear fusion
