This Gas Giant planet is a binary with a much more distant ice giant (not pictured). Over the course of 6 billion years, tidal forces have pushed the two planets away from each other, trading the gas giant's rotational energy for the ice giant's orbital energy. The gas giant now rotates only once every 3 months.

The ordered cloud bands of a typical gas giant are, like the Hadley cells in Earth atmosphere, the result of convection cells pulled into belts and zones by coriolis forces. On this slowly rotating world however, with effectively no coriolis forces, the convection cells have taken on a disordered, random, scale-like pattern instead.

i had lots of fun with this shoot!!! was going for that like. gritty y2k feel.... will have to try some more outfits with this!

WHY, specifically, is it black peoples' facial expressions that are seen as just so comical or exaggerated? analyze the history of this nation's comedy and tell me why you might be predisposed to thinking of black peoples' faces as just, "more emotive" or exaggeratedly funny than a white or nonblack person's

and throughout those years, 00s-10s, many black bloggers -- victims of the mass staff-led purge (under the cover of them being 'russian' while reichblr still exists) -- they DID tell us it was a problem, DID try to educate people who freak out at the insinuation of 'being racist,' DID argue, DID point out the duplicity and the appropriation and the gross equivalence of african american slang with unintelligence, goofiness, etc. and they were ignored, abused, cancelled, chased off, until being eventually mass deleted by our racist transmisogynistic staff.

we didn't do enough, and the generation after us gen z "kids" didn't stop the trend. using the '-ahh' suffix. rizz. no cap. ate. delulu. it's giving. it's serving. crash out. lock in. aura. tea. main character. bruh. slay. real. keep it 100.

all of the following images are or were popular reaction images! what do they all have in common?

These are two mutually tide-locked binary gas giants, of Jovian and sub-Saturnian mass, which orbit eachother. Over time they have spiralled in closer and closer until they began to share an atmosphere, and now they even share part of their liquid hydrogen mantles.

I have no clue at all what form the cloud banding and structures would take on a planet like this--what happens as the bands approach and cross the neck? I figure you would need to do a proper fluid simulation to have any hope of understanding it. I have very speculatively depicted the neck as a sort of half-twist, where the relative direction and latitudes of the cloud belts swap places after spiralling halfway around the neck.

Because of the wackiness of this concept, I gave myself permission to get a little wacky with the background. There are at least four moons orbiting the pair, which is technically possible, although the formation scenario is a little implausible. Also, while a normal photorealistic illustration of mine will typically have a plain black space, here I have included stars, a few background galaxies, and a very conspicuous Globular Star Cluster towards the left.

The Great Red Spot analogue on the larger lobe is a permanent feature of the planet, corresponding to a very deep whirlpool structure which independently rotates within the planet. When the red spot approaches the neck, the red clouds within are dispersed through the neck, and diffuse out into smaller short lived storms on the smaller lobe. Meanwhile, the underlying whirlpool rotates past the neck, and the upwelling of reddish material resumes on the other side.
