Bush's fault.

Dang it. I always get blamed for this kind of stuff. Has anybody checked Craig’s List?

[RobinOfKingston]

I know, I’m coming late to the show, but ... I think it is because Jovian cap & trade rules kicked in.

[YHAOS]

Economic times are getting tough. Most of us have had to merely tighten our belts.

Jupiter had to hawk one of its belts.

[TASMANIANRED]

Global warming and Bush is to blame.

The stripe moved to Uranus.

Clearly a sympathy protest for Pluto’s demotion to non-Planet status.

Did they really need to add those two big, black arrows to the pictures? I mean, couldn’t most folks figured out this one on their own??

Luke 21:

20"When you see Jerusalem being surrounded by armies, you will know that its desolation is near. 21Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, let those in the city get out, and let those in the country not enter the city. 22For this is the time of punishment in fulfillment of all that has been written. 23How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! There will be great distress in the land and wrath against this people. 24They will fall by the sword and will be taken as prisoners to all the nations. Jerusalem will be trampled on by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.

25"There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea. 26Men will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken. 27At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near."

[Ezekiel]

The band was present in at the end of last year before Jupiter ducked behind the Sun on its orbit. However, when it emerged three months later the belt had disappeared.

If I was given a little more over to the occult and fates - I'd say it was a bad omen...

...scientists are stumped as to why

But scientists know man-made global warming is real...

[UnbelievingScumOnTheOtherSide]

Jupiter loses one of its stripes

Does this mean Jupiter has been demoted from being a planet, too?

[PIF]

Just the Gajin doing their bit to mine Jupiter for resources before moving inward...
