Listening to Lulu, in our hearth we burn,
as we hear the high Cs rise in stereo,
what was lush swamp club-moss and tree-fern
at least 300 million years ago.
Shilbottle cobbles, Alban Berg high D
lifted from a source that bears your name,
the one we hear decay, the one we see,
the fern from the foetid forest, as brief flame.

This image of Jupiter’s southern hemisphere was taken by NASA’s Juno
spacecraft on October 24 at 2:11 p.m. EDT (11:11 a.m. PDT). At the time the image was
taken, Juno was 20,577 miles (33,115 km) from the tops of the clouds of the planet at
a latitude of minus 52.96 degrees. The color-enhanced view captures one of the white
ovals in the ‘String of Pearls,’ one of eight massive rotating storms at 40 degrees
south latitude on the gas giant.
