Absolutely LOVE the floral initials in this copy of the works of Apuleius, one of the first books printed at Rome (by Sweynheym & Pannartz) in 1469. The initials apparently added in France, perhaps in the 1480s or 90s. @theulspeccoll.bsky.social Inc.2.B.2.1[1124].

Flying over Saturn - From Val Klavans (valklavans.bsky.social) - flic.kr/p/Ng1pvm

Have you ever wondered what Saturn looks like from above? On October 10, 2013 Cassini had the chance to fly over Saturn and take in this stunning view of the planet nestled within its rings, highlighting its mysterious hexagon and colorful cloud layers.

This composite is made of images that were taken by the Cassini spacecraft's camera system, the Imaging Science Subsystem (ISS) on October 10, 2013 and received on Earth October 11, 2013. The camera was pointing toward Saturn at approximately 900,000 miles (1,450,000 kilometers) away, and the images were taken using red, green, and blue filters.

Jupiter in Near-Infrared - From Judy Schmidt (geckzilla.bsky.social) - flic.kr/p/FEZA33

2018 May 06: Note that the blue channel contains data collected through a red filter, not a near-infrared one. Apologies for not mentioning that in my original description.

Why do Jupiter's poles glow brightly in infrared? I can't honestly say I know why, but I like the way it is completely opposite from visible light. In visible light, the poles are darker, and the middle latitudes near the limb practically glow in blue light. The Great Red Spot is also visible as a large, salmon hued spot in this image. Jupiter is interestingly contrasty in the near-infrared FQ889N filter, which is one of the methane bands.

These data were collected by Hubble to assist in providing context for Juno data, which are so close up to the planet that the field of view relatively small, and it can be helpful to see what is going on with the rest of the planet at the same time. A variety of data were collected for this purpose, including visible, near-uv, and near-infrared.Knowing this, one begins to gain an understanding of how having robust and overlapping datasets from various observatories and probes working in tandem can greatly augment scientific research. Juno or Hubble data alone would be much less valuable. In short, it takes a village.

I thought I would get Europa in this image, but then I found out that moon was hiding in Jupiter's shadow. Io was hanging out in the corner way out of the way, and two fainter moons could also be seen. Io was saturated anyway, and the faint moons were...

A Peek Into Jupiter’s Inner Life - From NASA Marshall Space Flight Center - flic.kr/p/2nLdWAu

Auroras and hazes glow in this composite image of Jupiter taken by the James Webb Space Telescope's Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam). NIRCam has three specialized infrared filters that showcase details of the planet.

Since infrared light is invisible to the human eye, the light has been mapped onto the visible spectrum: the auroras are mapped to redder colors, hazes to yellows and greens, and light reflected from a deeper main cloud to blues.
