To be fair that's a bit crap tell whoever forwarded that to you they need to get a better camera.

Jupiter is bright tonight in the South!

I love the very different views of Jupiter we've had since the Juno space probe went into orbit (examples in the second tweet here):

I love the idea of those Sci fi landscapes where you’re looking up from a planets surface and seeing weird clouds and several moons or planets in the sky. 

a lot of planets are just a lot of rock, or mountains, and you could be in the middle of a desert on earth, but it’s when you look up that you realise you’re really not in cansas anymore.

I’d love to be able to see something like that. 

these pictures look cool. But I wonder what it would look like from whatever constitutes the surface (does Jupiter have a surface somewhere under all the clouds, would it look like a wet cat if all the gas blew away?)
