If you like Van Gogh, you'll love Jupiter

The Starry Night   (Painting by Vincent van Gogh)

It’s been ten long years since the Juno spacecraft began its voyage to Jupiter.

Now up close and personal with the gas giant, Juno has some detailed photos to share.  Fans of Vincent van Gogh may note the similarity between these photos and his paintings.  Both display eye-popping swaths of color within phantasmagorical settings.

Perhaps Van Gogh’s title, “The Starry Night,” did not quite tell the whole story.  Perhaps glowing Jupiter was part of what the artist actually saw.  If so, Juno’s more than ready to set the record straight.
