When I first got interested in astronomy, I read things about the gigantic storms on Jupiter and and Saturn and Neptune and never really could grock the size; sure, they'd say X miles across, but that didn't seem to mean much.

Seeing a storm that's the size of India? Yeah, that means a lot more. And also leaves me frankly amazed there is anything left in its wake.
