Io
Since the weather in summer is feast or famine. I will intersperse the slow weeks with some extraterristrial photos. My father sends me some cools pics from time to time of the planets. He loves Jupiter in particular. I am more of a Saturn fan.
The image above is from one of Jupiter's many moons. This satellite is called Io and it is volcanic and has a very thin atmosphere. Note the pock marked appearence of the surface. The legacy of meteorites bashing your surface for billions of years.

Io...my favorite satellite also. I remember it specifically from my college astronomy days. The others have all faded away.
