    Thanks to Paul for providing the images and the amazing resolution from the space instrument.

    The power of the imaging is in the context of the solar system, even if presently there is nowhere to go to highlight the upscaling from the back and forth motions of Jupiter's moons around their parent planet with the motions of the faster moving
    Mercury and Venus around our parent star-

    I have presented this innovation within this newsgroup for many years as part of a larger picture that once took the name of astronomy, but more comfortable with the term 'solar system research' these days. It is so new in terms of how it is transmitted
    through visual data that there is no placeholder for context, whereas there is for imaging and resolution which is static.

    I imagine the separation of observations depending on whether the planets are moving faster or slower than the Earth will eventually surface without any hint as to how that reasoning was arrived at and that is a great loss.

    I like Jupiter!
    it has many Moons!
