Jupiter got a new profile picture taken by Hubble!
This new Hubble Space Telescope view of Jupiter, taken on June 27, 2019, reveals the giant planet’s trademark Great Red Spot, and a more intense color palette in the clouds swirling in Jupiter’s turbulent atmosphere than seen in previous years.

Also some nice arguments should you ever encounter one of those panicky people and their wonderful pseudo-scientific arguments.
