4.6 apod

I chose the photo entitled "Jupiter from the Stratosphere". It is a picture of a real image of jupiter as well as a very colorful false image of the planet. Both images represent the planet sans the equatorial belt which can normally be seen in the upper hemisphere of the photo. Also one can see a tiny bit of jupiter's cloud tops because the clouds are transparent to infrared light.
