Mars can't have all the fun! Jupiter *also* brings Otamatones to the ancient Romans, as envisoned by Gustav Holst... and also by Mozart.

Clicking on the "other versions" shows a less pretty version with a description. "This map of Jupiter is the most detailed global color map of the planet ever produced. The round map is a polar stereographic projection that shows the south pole in the center of the map and the equator at the edge. It was constructed from images taken by Cassini on Dec. 11 and 12, 2000, as the spacecraft neared Jupiter during a flyby on its way to Saturn.The map shows a variety of colorful cloud features, including parallel reddish-brown and white bands, the Great Red Spot, multi-lobed chaotic regions, white ovals and many small vortices. Many clouds appear in streaks and waves due to continual stretching and folding by Jupiter's winds and turbulence. The bluish-gray features along the north edge of the central bright band are equatorial "hot spots," meteorological systems such as the one entered by NASA's Galileo probe. Small bright spots within the orange band north of the equator are lightning-bearing thunderstorms. The polar region shown here is less clearly visible because Cassini viewed it at an angle and through thicker atmospheric haze."

"This is a composite image made from JunoCam images taken during the 1st, 3rd, & 4th perijove's(orbits) of NASA's Juno spacecraft. They were merged together using Photoshop and had the motion blurring reduced using a Wiener filter. This is the first time the polar regions of Jupiter have been observed and is made possible by the unique polar orbits of the Juno spacecraft. The imaging is done by a program where NASA provides the raw images and leaves it up to amateur's to do the processing. The polar region is distinctly different from the familiar belts and zones of the temperate regions. The image shows a series of cyclones averaging 6000 miles in size."
