that was my first impression. Being an accretionist, on closer examination I see the outlines of an accretion spiral ending at the pole.

the elements of the aurora seem to be spiraling into the pole for discharge

the universe is all about accretion. Gravity is drawing it all back

Now that’s what I call thinking big. Ever consider a career in the asteroid mining industry?

Jupiter first, we'll strip-mine the rest of the planets later.

It’s because of man-made global warming.

You’d need another 50 or 60 Jupiters to add to it to turn it into a red dwarf. And the gravity of a neighbor that size wouldn’t be good for earth.
