The ability to fly would open up a new dimension to explore (in the mathematical-physical sense—we already know Danny had opened one up in the other sense). Think of how much Danny would notice that no one else would?

Think of bees. (Not so much birds, because we see birds all the time, and also because they don't seem quite as graceful and maneuverable as bees.) When I did a search for how high bees can fly, I found something that said bees could fly higher than Mount Everest (little edit: may've misunderstood what it meant. They might not've been found flying that high after all, just that 'they could'). Bees can go anywhere they want, just for fun.

We as humans tend to (for the most part) view the world as six feet high. Anything six feet or under, we know about (or possibly up to eight feet. But it's not much higher than our height). And we don't really realize we're thinking this way.

Sure, we can look upward, we can see treetops from a distance, we can see what the sky looks like. But it's from the perspective of looking up from a distance. Our worldview is colored by looking up from six feet or less.

It's a flat surface. Despite us knowing it's not flat, we don't really internalize it as being 3D and navigable. And we also don't realize what's up there. Who would ever imagine there were bees buzzing around the top of a 200 foot tree? To get to flowers we didn't even notice were up there?

And, yeah, we have planes, but they fly in a set path and you can only look down at the very distant ground. Helicopters are probably more similar, but not many people fly or ride those.

But Danny... after the accident, he would've started out sticking close to the ground a lot, but as he started getting more comfortable with the ability to fly, his worldview probably would've changed gradually. From his preconceived idea of 'the world is six feet or less' to 'the world is spacious and easily explored and so very 3D'.

There's an episode where he's vacuuming the living room ceiling—as though he thinks his parents will notice that it's cleaner than before. And though I understand the 'I have to clean everything so I don't get in trouble' impulse better than I should, there's a chance it's partly from Danny seeing the house differently than before. The ceiling becomes just another wall for him. ...One that he might clean often when he has cleaning chores, because he's going to notice all those spiderwebs and cobwebs, and the little bugs gathering in the light fixtures.

(...He probably would realize the ground is also navigable at some point, too. Think of all the tunnels and moles and snakes and other creatures he'll see, and all the plant roots and such.)

#danny phantom #danny fenton #just some thoughts #it's not really a 'what if' idea because it just... is. #asj post #I'd looked at some red buds on a maple tree using binoculars and kinda thought aloud 'I wonder what pollinates maple flowers'. #Because I knew maples had flowers because I'd seen something about it online once. ...I hadn't really realized it before then. #And my dad said probably Honey Bees. And I was like... 'bees fly that high?' #When my dad said he guessed so; I said I've always only seen them around this high (and put my hand at shin-level). #So... that's what made me realize there's a lot I just don't realize exists. From only living in a world near my height and below. #Planted to the ground. #...There was a post I saw awhile ago about people with weird ideas. One was about an illustration showing people standing on top of #the Earth and a person had been surprised because they thought we'd lived inside the Earth. #And actually... I thought the person could've been partially right. We don't live On Top of the Earth. We live under the atmosphere. #We're stuck halfway inside it. Under the layers of atmosphere but above the solid layers. Actually we're on the teeny tiny Crust layer. #I thought it was weird because when we talk about gas giants like Jupiter and Saturn we don't measure them based on their core size. #We measure them based on the size of their atmosphere. #So yeah we actually do live inside the Earth and not on top of it. #There was also a post I saw with a closeup of Saturn. Those clouds looked so 3D and thick and invitingly explorable. They looked bottomless #my search engine had answered the bee question wrong. but I did find something that said they'd definitely found Flies over 19000 ft.' #Not as high as Everest but still really high.

HOW LONG WILL JUPITER’S STORM LAST??

Blog# 223

Wednesday, August 31st, 2022

Welcome back,

Jupiter is the biggest planet in our solar system, and its weather is quite unusual. Jupiter is encircled by storms. Some are small, while others are so massive that they can affect the entire planet. The most powerful of these storms is a very well-known Great Red Spot.

It's also made up of strong wind gusts that keep turning on and on. Such wind speeds are five times more effective than any massive storm on the planet. The Great Red Spot is Jupiter's storm's which is like "Oldest" storm and been spinning for a long time.

The iconic Great Red Spot of Jupiter may disappear in the next 20 years, according to a researcher at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in California.

The massive storm — larger than Earth itself — was first spotted in 1830, and observations from the 1600s also revealed a giant spot on Jupiter's surface that may have been the same storm system. This suggests Jupiter's Great Red Spot (GRS) has been raging for centuries.  

In a recent story, Business Insider spoke with Glenn Orton, a lead Juno mission team member and planetary scientist at NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), about the giant storm's fate. 

According to Orton, the storm's vortex has maintained strength because of Jupiter's 300-400 mph (483-640 km/h) jetstreams, but like any storm, it won't go on forever. "In truth, the GRS has been shrinking for a long time," Orton told Business Insider.

"The GRS will in a decade or two become the GRC (Great Red Circle)," Orton said. "Maybe sometime after that the GRM," by which he means the "Great Red Memory."

In the late 1800s, the storm was perhaps as wide as 30 degrees longitude, Orton said. That works out to more than 35,000 miles — four times the diameter of Earth. When the nuclear-powered spacecraft Voyager 2 flew by Jupiter in 1979, however, the storm had shrunk to a bit more twice the width of our own planet.

Data on Jupiter's crimson-colored spot reveals that this shrinking is still occurring. As of April 3, 2017, the GRS spanned the width of 10,159 miles (16,350 kilometers), less than 1.3 times Earth's diameter. The longest storm on Earth lasted 31 days, but Jupiter can sustain longer storms because the gas planet has tens of thousands of miles of atmosphere, and spins much faster than Earth.

Y'all Ivy @ivystoryweaver put out a new fic about Poe Dameron and I don't think I'm ready but I am also SO ready. Gotta read it before I go see Spiderverse tonight, 'cause Priorities.

immensely enjoying seeing your astro tag on the dash everytime 🥰

I'm glad to hear that :D

I don't even follow any specifically astronomy blogs on here so it's really just me losing my mind whenever one of you reblogs a planet 😭

#btw the lore is that jupiter is my little babygirl i worked with her for 2 months last summer i know all about her atmosphere #and by extension all the gas giants are my girlies too #rocky planets are also cool actually all planets are cool #stars.... they are acceptable. i respect them #galaxies?....... i am looking away 😐 get that thing away from me 😔 #if you want to know my beef with galaxies it's that are so BIG and SCARY and they make no sense #what tf is a 'dark matter' i'll kill u #joking i'm leaving that to the theoreticists. i'm only here to look at pretty planets

"NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has discovered a new, never-before-seen feature in Jupiter's atmosphere. The high-speed jet stream, which spans more than 3,000 miles (4,800 kilometers) wide, sits over Jupiter's equator above the main cloud decks. The discovery of this jet is giving insights into how the layers of Jupiter's famously turbulent atmosphere interact with each other, and how Webb is uniquely capable of tracking those features.

"This is something that totally surprised us," said Ricardo Hueso of the University of the Basque Country in Bilbao, Spain, lead author on the paper describing the findings. "What we have always seen as blurred hazes in Jupiter's atmosphere now appear as crisp features that we can track along with the planet's fast rotation."

The research team analyzed data from Webb's NIRCam (Near-Infrared Camera) captured in July 2022. The Early Release Science program—jointly led by Imke de Pater from the University of California, Berkeley and Thierry Fouchet from the Observatory of Paris—was designed to take images of Jupiter 10 hours apart, or one Jupiter day, in four different filters, each uniquely able to detect changes in small features at different altitudes of Jupiter's atmosphere.

"Even though various ground-based telescopes, spacecraft like NASA's Juno and Cassini, and NASA's Hubble Space Telescope have observed the Jovian system's changing weather patterns, Webb has already provided new findings on Jupiter's rings, satellites, and its atmosphere," de Pater noted."

Yknow what? 🍀 with mr thunder bird man! Or time man, either works!

"A human, asking advice from a Stardroid?" He gives a deep throated chuckle. Not a funny chuckle, but malicious with a bit of disbelief.

“Run or die.”

"My advice is don't ask his."
