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.

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

    My wife’s gone to the Caribbean.

    Jamaica?

    No, she went of her own accord.

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.   :laugh:
