My current wallpaper is, according to Phil Plait, "the sharpest picture of Jupiter ever taken from the ground." It's a gorgeous picture, all right, and I grabbed the 1730x1730 .jpg of it to use for a while. Check it out (obviously not the full-sized picture below, but it links to the full-size one):
Random trivia I just remembered: Jupiter's red spot, a small part of the surface of the planet, is a perpetual storm that is "about 12,000 by 25,000 km, big enough to hold two Earths." Doesn't that make you feel...significant?
