“The south pole of Mars, September 1877.” Star-land : being talks with young people about the wonders of the heavens. 1892.
This is a picture of the top of Saturn, featuring a hexagonal storm on its North Pole which has most likely been going on for decades.

I got really emotional inspired by the The Golden Record, and decided to make this quick and messy comic about it.

Caldwell 92 by NASA Hubble
This image captures the swirling cloud formations around the south pole of Jupiter, looking up toward the equatorial region. NASA’s Juno spacecraft took the color-enhanced image during its eleventh close flyby of the gas giant planet on Feb. 7 at 7:11 a.m. PST (10:11 a.m. EST). At the time, the spacecraft was 74,896 miles (120,533 kilometers) from the tops of Jupiter’s clouds at 84.9 degrees south latitude. To make features more visible in Jupiter’s terminator — the region where day meets night — the Juno team adjusted JunoCam so that it would perform like a portrait photographer taking multiple photos at different exposures, hoping to capture one image with the intended light balance. For JunoCam to collect enough light to reveal features in Jupiter’s dark twilight zone, the much brighter illuminated day-side of Jupiter becomes overexposed with the higher exposure.
