Topic: Jupiter’s Missing Stripe Reappears

[sam]

Jupiter’s lost cloud belt may be coming back.

One of the gas giant’s characteristic red stripes, the South Equatorial Belt, faded late in 2009 and had vanished completely by early May, 2010. The band had waned and returned several times in the past, astronomers noted, and kept an eye out for its return.

Welcome back red stripe.   

[sam]

oh you like Jamaican beer then?

[Rik]

I wondered who'd be able to resist that one, or not.

[Clive]

There used to be a British sherry called Red Stripe.   

[Rik]

When was that, Clive?

[Simon]

    My wife’s gone to the Caribbean.

    Jamaica?

    No, she went of her own accord.

[Rik]

Boom boom!

There used to be a British sherry called Red Stripe.   

In the1960's Rik.  It uised to be very popular because it was cheap and very nasty.  It was my first ever taste of alcohol.   

[sam]

wow, the 1960s sounds like a mysterious strange time of half arsed substance abuse....

[Simon]

 

[Rik]

Well, we were busy discovering other forms of abuse back then, Sam.
