A note on Jupiter's mysterious turbulent atmosphere, i have always been fascinated by it, its beauty and almost feverish scale and ferocity, i have had a theory for a while that the different rates and direction of spin, the eye are attributed to varying temperatures and density within the fluid of the atmosphere, like cold cream in hot coffee! low and behold someone has created an experiment to ask why cream and coffee behave this way at a university in bath and Connecticut, they dont refer to possible astronomical parallels, but it made me smile to see that an experiment can look awfully similar and pertinent to other fields of study. what do you think Hi Chris,
