Explanation: What does Jupiter look like up close? Most images of Jupiter are taken from far away, either from Earth or from a great enough distance that nearly half the planet is visible. This shot, though, was composed from images taken relatively close in, where less than half of the planet was visible. From here, Jupiter still appears spherical but perspective distortion now makes it look more like a marble. Visible on Jupiter’s cloud tops are a prominent dark horizontal belt containing a white oval cloud, and a white zone cloud, both of which circle the planet. The Great Red Spot looms on the upper right. The featured image was taken by the robotic Juno spacecraft in February during its 17th close pass of our Solar System’s largest planet. Juno’s mission, now extended into 2021, is to study Jupiter in new ways. Juno’s data has already enabled discoveries that include Jupiter’s magnetic field being surprisingly lumpy, and that some of Jupiter’s cloud systems run about 3,000 kilometers into the planet.

There are people who are with someone

They are not really in love with

But it’s too frightening

The thought to be alone

So they stay and lie to themselves

Then there are people who never give there full heart to someone

For it’s been broken

Never healed properly

Won’t ever perhaps

Then there are those who become broken at one point

They love fiercely with all their heart, naively with all they got

Not to anybody

They love once, maybe twice

Before

05.01.2018 Over the weekend I moved some of the seedlings into cups so that’s why a few are missing in the photos but I also posted a photos of the cups. Today I see a third leaf sprouting out of the Zucchini I put in a cup so that’s pretty exciting and didn’t expect to see that. Zucchini’s in the second and third photos. Fourth photo is yellow squash which I’m excited is finally coming up. Also, finally starting to get some action with the sweet peppers. They’re just little guys but I was starting to lose hope so I am excited to see those coming up. Those are in the last photo on the bottom left. This morning also watched a few videos on how to “thin seedlings”. Random thought “Only the strong survive” [In a narrative man’s voice] or “This is Sparta!”. Thinning seedlings makes me think about movies for some odd reason. I guess anything with plants I tend to have optimistic outlook and like to think that all of them can survive and thrive so I have a hard time thinking about purposefully thinning them out. I will say that I am glad I watched a video on this because I imagined yanking/pulling out the smaller seedlings but it’s really just cutting the less healthy looking seedlings down to the base of the stem and leaving the strong healthy looking one. I do get it though; you don’t want over crowding and I would lessen the success of one thriving by keeping too many.

04.25.2018 The forecast is looking good and we should hopefully be past the morning frost so I decided to plant these sunflowers today. Came in a pack. Hoping they turn out. Been debating if I should throw in some of the wildflower mix in there just in case I nothing comes up. Also afraid the birds will eat my seedlings if/when they come up. We shall see...

04.24.2018 Top photos are my two cartons that are doing the best and germinated first. The baby spinach seeds (right carton on the first two photos) germinated first and now all of the sections have at least one coming up (one of them you can barely see it but it’s starting to come up). I pre-soaked these seeds for 24 hours before planting them. The Roma tomatoes seeds (left carton of the first two photos) were the second to germinate and all of the sections have at least one seed germinating. I did not pre-soak the Roma tomato seeds before planting them. Both the baby spinach and Roma tomato seeds indicated on the package seedlings in 7-10 days which definitely holds true since they were planted just over a week ago. The third photo is of Zucchini. I have one little but big seedling. Hoping I get more to come up too. The Yellow Squash and Sweet Peppers have yet to make any moves; but those along with the Zucchini package said it takes 10-14 days for seedlings (technically the sweet peppers 10-21 days). Fingers crossed I can get something going. The packages for the Zucchini and the Yellow Squash said to sow in the ground but because we had snow on an off and it was cold, and I have no garden beds ready, I decided to try to start those inside. I did also pre-soak those for 24 hours before planting inside. Last photo is Bubba. He loves to go wherever I go. Particularly loves to lay in the sun while I’m tending to my plants in the morning.
