What do you think this is?

A painting? Maybe coffee, mixing up? Or any other liquids mixing up?
That’s mostly what this is.
The surface of Jupiter.
There persists a storm on Jupiter namely, The Great Red Spot(top-right) first discovered by the Italian astronomer Gian Domenico Cassini in 1665.
The storm has been raging on the planet since the past 400 years at least, as Jupiter is a gas giant planet, is has received little resistance to stop.
But it has still been decreasing in it’s diameter since it has been observed, originally starting from 40,000 kms wide when measured by the Voyager 1. It has now shrunk down to less than 17,000 kms wide, shrinking at a fast pace of 900 kms per year.
The reasons for this happening have not yet been confirmed but it might have to do with eddy storms around it, stealing it’s energy over time.
It is estimated to vanish in the next 50 years, if the rate remains the same.
This storm alone on the surface of Jupiter can engulf two and a half Earths.

@nasa posted this yesterday and it really blew my mind that I was looking at a color photo taken by a robot…sent from space…of the surface of Mars…on my phone. Isn’t that amazing?!…and goodnight🌝. Repost from @nasa…Our Curiosity Mars rover rounds Martian dune to get to the other side. Curiosity, partway through the first up-close study ever conducted of extraterrestrial sand dunes, is providing dramatic views of a dune’s steep face, where cascading sand has sculpted very different textures than the wavy ripples visible on the dune’s windward slope.

This Dec. 18, 2015, view of the downwind face of „Namib Dune“ on Mars covers 360 degrees, including a portion of Mount Sharp on the horizon.
