Random Shit I Find Cool

regram @nasa Today, our Juno spacecraft arrives at Jupiter. This is the first time a spacecraft will orbit the poles of Jupiter, providing new answers to ongoing mysteries about the planet’s core, composition and magnetic fields. This image is from January and February 1979, when our Voyager 1 spacecraft captured this close-up of swirling clouds around Jupiter’s Great Red Spot. The observations revealed many unique features of the planet that are still being explored to this day. At about 89,000 miles in diameter, Jupiter could swallow 1,000 Earths. It is the largest planet in the solar system and perhaps the most majestic. Vibrant bands of clouds carried by winds that can exceed 400 mph continuously circle the planet’s atmosphere. Such winds sustain spinning anticyclones like the Great Red Spot – a raging storm three and a half times the size of Earth located in Jupiter’s southern hemisphere.

How did you come up with the idea of using a violin bow on an electric guitar? When I was a session musician, I would often play with string sections. For the most part, the string players would keep to themselves, except for a guy who one day asked me if I ever thought of playing my guitar with a bow. I said I didn’t think it would work because the bridge of the guitar isn’t arched like it is on a violin or cello. But he insisted that I give it a try, and he gave me his bow. And whatever squeaks I made sort of intrigued me. I didn’t really start developing the technique for quite some time later, but he was the guy that turned me onto the idea.
