Jupiter Is Trans, Sorry We Don't Make the Rules

NASA released a new photo of Jupiter, and the internet has made the planet their trans god.
It's official: Jupiter is trans!

Well, it's not exactly official...the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) posted the latest photo of Jupiter taken by the Hubble Space Telescope showing the impact of ultraviolet light on the planet. People were quick to notice that our solar system's largest planet just so happened to be repping the colors of the transgender pride flag.Â

"Jupiter appears different in near ultraviolet light, partly because the amount of sunlight reflected back is distinct, giving differing cloud heights and latitudes discrepant brightnesses," reads NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day page. "In the near UV, Jupiter's poles appear relatively dark, as does its Great Red Spot and a smaller (optically) white oval to the right. The String of Pearl storms farther to the right, however, are brightest in near ultraviolet, and so here appear (false-color) pink."
The internet, however, has already made Jupiter a trans icon!
