Looking for an image subreddit with minimal rules? Check out /r/images

A place to share interesting photographs and pictures. Feel free to post your own, but please read the rules first (see below), and note that we are not a catch-all for general images (of screenshots, comics, etc.)

Spoiler code

Please mark spoilers like this:
[text here](/spoiler)

Hover over to read.

Rules

  1. No screenshots, or pictures with added or superimposed text. This includes image macros, comics, info-graphics and most diagrams. Text (e.g. a URL) serving to credit the original author is exempt.

  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

  4. No solicitation of votes (including "cake day" posts), posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. DAE posts go in /r/DoesAnybodyElse. "Fixed" posts should be added as a comment to the original image.

  5. Submissions must link directly to a specific image file or to an image hosting website with minimal ads. We do not allow blog hosting of images ("blogspam"), but links to albums on image hosting websites are okay. URL shorteners are prohibited.

  • If your submission appears to be filtered but definitely meets the above rules, please send us a message with a link to the comments section of your post (not a direct link to the image). Don't delete it as that just makes the filter hate you!

  • If you come across any rule violations, please report the submission or message the mods and one of us will remove it!

Please also try to come up with original post titles. Submissions that use certain clichés/memes will be automatically tagged with a warning.

It's crazy how, if you don't know what this is, you could easily be convinced that you're looking at something through a microscope.

Just for scale, that White storm just underneath the spot is about the same diameter as our entire planet.

I love Jupiter. So... Enormously mysterious

That fact terrifies me still to this day.

It actually hurts to think about it, and I feel sick to my stomach if I don't think about something else instead. Something else that has been bothering me lately is that article I read about proton decay. Real? I don't know, but it makes my head hurt to think about the infinity of time that will happen after I die!

What, the theory that over trillions and trillions of years, the universe will just slowly decay into an infinitely expanding cloud of sub atomic particles, so thinly spread out that they will never interact with each other again?

Yeah, That theory frightens me more than clowns.

So gorgeous.

I haven't looked at Jupiter since...2005? Whenever the massive collision was.

Sometimes I just forget how beautiful the universe can be.

Are you talking about the shoemaker-levy 9 comet collision?

I was talking about this: http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/hubble/main/jupiter-hubble.html

A friend of mine actually works for NOAA, a branch of which is literally a jog from the institute that did the monitoring for this incident. She was bubbly for about a week before hand, making jokes about how "144 hours remain" and singing the final boss theme from FF7. It was infectious, and I spent a nine nights looking at Jupiter over her shoulder.

It was all fun and games until the impact happened. I said, "that's it?" Because it didn't seem like much.

She turned to me, like the wide-eyed knave I am, and said "that discoloration is about twice the size of the Earth."

Damn Universe! You scary!
