Thank you, my friend Maj William W. 'Bill' Price for sharing the NASA picture of the day for April 15, 2019 entitled "The Dolphin Cloud on Jupiter."
Image: Enhanced- The Dolphin Cloud on Jupiter - image credit: NASA, Juno, SwRI, MSSS - Processing - Gerald Eichstädt & Avi Solomon

"Explanation: Do you see the dolphin-shaped cloud on Jupiter? The cloud was visible last year during perijove 16, the sixteenth time that NASA's robotic spacecraft Juno passed near Jupiter since it arrived in mid-2016. During each perijove, Juno passes near a slightly different part of Jupiter's cloud tops. The dolphin shape may be surprising but is not scientifically significant -- clouds on Jupiter and Earth are constantly shifting and can temporarily mimic many familiar shapes. The cloud appears in Jupiter's South Temperate Belt (STB), a band of dark and dropping clouds that rings the planet and also contains Oval BA, dubbed Red Spot Jr. The featured image was digitally processed to enhance color and contrast. Juno's next swoop near Jupiter -- perijove 20 -- will occur on late May."
Thank you, my friend Maj Marty Hogan for mentioning me.
