Things I would like to see with a picture like this:
1: Description of the algorithm used for coloring the picture and perhaps also an uncolored picture.
2. An overlay with wind direction and speed. And related to that some sense of depth. My sense is they are kind of like looking at a hurricane from above and the depths and heights are substantial.

Jupiter's rabbit. (Well, probably just my imagination.)

<<The Leonov crew flees Jupiter as a mysterious white spot appears on Jupiter and begins to grow. HAL's telescope observations reveal that the "Great White Spot" is, in fact, a vast population of rabbits, increasing at an exponential rate, which appear to be eating the planet. By acting as self-replicating Leporidae, these rabbits increase Jupiter's density until the planet achieves nuclear fusion, becoming a small star. This obliterates the
primitive vegetable life forms inhabiting the Jovian atmosphere, which the rabbits' controllers had deemed highly unlikely to ever achieve intelligence, unlike the aquatic life of Europa.>>

Those mechanical astronauts are the way to explore far away worlds! Putting a woman on the moon by 2024 is quite bold. Too many things have to work perfectly at once.
