I sort of wonder why jupiter doesn't "swirl" like the earth weather does...it is just stryated (sp?).

<h1>Astrophoto:  The Planet Jupiter by Mike Salway</h1>
<span class="date">Tue, 21 Mar 2006</span> - Thirty years ago the clearest views of the planet Jupiter could only be obtained from multi-million dollar robotic space probes, like the twin Voyager missions sent to survey the outer planets.  As recently as five years ago, the atmosphere still hopelessly blurred views of Jupiter, or any other planet, seen from the surface of the Earth through telescopes.  All of that has changed thanks to the digital revolution in photography.  Now, people with the interest, a modest telescope and a common web camera can learn to take planetary portraits that rival some the best from NASA.
