Jupiter has lost one of its iconic red stripes and scientists are baffled as to why. The largest planet in our solar system is usually dominated by two dark bands in its atmosphere, with one in the northern hemisphere and one in the southern hemisphere. However, the most recent images taken by amateur astronomers have revealed the lower stripe known as the Southern Equatorial Belt has disappeared leaving the southern half of the planet looking unusually bare.

Perhaps a wonder in the heaven ?

Iceland a pillar of smoke ?

Joel Chapter 3

3 And I will shew wonders in the heavens and
in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.

4 The sun shall be turned into darkness,
and the moon into blood, before the great
and terrible day of YHvH come.

5 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever
shall call on the name of YHvH shall be delivered;

Yeah, but when you’re as old as Jupiter, the sagging must be horrendous.

“Perhaps a wonder in the heaven ?”

It is most certainly that, yes.

Exactly! He finally got his Remove One Stripe from Jupiter machine perfected and running.

That explains why he’s been too busy to be seen in public that much.

No, no, no! It’s not Bush’s fault! Or, maybe it is, but, what’s really going on is that Obama is fomenting another crisis through trick photography to make us think the solar system is collapsing and that we needs to spend billions and billions of dollars to prepare for a new onslaught of solar radiation and switch to solar power right away, or we’re all gonna die! OK, so maybe trillions of dollars. What comes after trillions?

Makes you think, huh?
Look what they did to poor Pluto.
Stripped of it’s planet status.
Now it’s a mere Kuiper belt object, or minor planet.
