I actually find myself wishing that it didn't have that bottom 1/6 included. I think it would have been a much stronger painting without it. Regardless, it's very nice!

I have to disagree with Ruben here (shocking I know!). The point of the piece is to look at Jupiter while being on the surface of one of it's moons, IO. So if you just get rid of the bottom 1/6 the piece is just "Jupiter", which while still cool and looks photo realistic against images from space/satellites/space telescopes we've seen - is kind of boring by comparison IMHO. I like the perspective here from IO. Perhaps one day humans will land astronauts on that moon safely somehow and see a view like this for all mankind!

I agree, Kavi. Sorry Ruben. You wouldn't see the cool Sodium gas effect without standing on the frozen ground of Io. The sodium cloud appears like a jet extending from Io away from Jupiter and tilted down with respect to Io's orbital plane.

It's beautiful with the barren look of the plains swept clean by the winds. It gives us a feeling of isolation and makes us feel our place in the universe.
