SmallShoes Posted June 11, 2007 Posted June 11, 2007 My black heart absorbs all light and spews explosive vitriol. Doesn't look like it absorbed all light. Quote
tvashtarkatena Posted June 11, 2007 Author Posted June 11, 2007 Tvashtar in true color. Charged particles from Jupiter's magnetic field ionize the sulphur dioxide plume, causing it to phosphoresce blue. Quote
