This Friday 14th August, the planet Jupiter will be in opposition = best moment to observe it in binoculars or telescopes!

Is that why there are so many fantastic images of this?

Someone has contributed an amazing polar-projection animation to spaceweather.com. Hopefully this is a permalink:

The "zoom" version appears to show a wisp (yeah, a continent-sized "wisp) torn off into the more northerly band of weather. Very very cool.
