Do you know what a is? 🌌
It's time the takes to orbit once around the center of the .
We move 230 km every second in orbit around the center. So it takes 230 mln years to complete 1 Galactic Year at this rate.

Jupiter's monster storm, the Great Red Spot, was once so large that three Earths would fit inside it. But new measurements by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope reveal that the largest storm in our solar system has downsized significantly. The red spot, which has been raging for at least a hundred years, is only the width of one Earth.
The images were taken in 1995, 2009, and 2014.

Almost 200 years of progress since the first pictures of our solar system, Thoughts?

The James Webb Space Telescope has captured a pair of distorting each other as they merge in a great galactic get-together.

The ongoing cosmic collision imaged by Webb is known as II ZW 96. It is roughly 500 million light-years from and located in the , according to a Nov. 30 statement.

This is how Jupiter has protected earth for billions of years. The gravity of Jupiter keeps most asteroids and space rocks away from Earth. Without it earth would most likely be uninhabitable for humans. Mad respect for Jupiter.

Magnetic field lines detected by the airborne SOFIA observatory are overlaid on a Hubble image of the Whirlpool Galaxy (M51). Surprisingly, the magnetic field lines in the outer arms do not follow the galaxy's spiral shape. Intense star formation in these outer regions may be causing magnetic chaos, and the gravitational tug of neighboring galaxy NGC 5195 probably also plays a role.

Jupiter’s largest moon has a salty ocean that contains more water than on Earth

Forget holidays in the Mediterranean. If you want vast ocean views, Jupiter’s biggest moon Ganymede is the place to be. The moon is larger than Mercury and would be classed as a planet if it were orbiting the Sun rather than Jupiter.

💢 You can't stand on Uranus

If we ever manage to travel to the gas planets, you might be in for a bit of a shock when you step off the spaceship. That’s because Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune don’t have solid surfaces - they have a rocky core, but are mainly big balls of hydrogen and helium.
