Re: APOD: A Five Planet Dawn (2016 Jan 30)

Im all for space exploration. Ive always believed we will eventually use up all our resources here on earth. We WILL need another home someday, and the only place to look is in space.

Re: APOD: Jupiter's Great Red Spot from Voyager 1 (2011 May
The picture of the Red Spot on Jupiter is over 30 years old. Does Jupiter 1 and Jupiter still send pictures back to earth? If so, where can I see more recent pics? Thanks. ![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
