Io: Moon over Jupiter : How big is Jupiters moon Io? The most volcanic body in the Solar System, Io is 3,600 kilometers in diameter, about the size of planet Earths single large natural satellite. Gliding past Jupiter at the turn of the millennium, the Cassini spacecraft captured this awe inspiring view of active Io with the largest gas giant as a backdrop, offering a stunning demonstration of the ruling planets relative size. Although in the featured picture Io appears to be located just in front of the swirling Jovian clouds, Io hurtles around its orbit once every 42 hours at a distance of 420,000 kilometers or so from the center of Jupiter. That puts Io nearly 350,000 kilometers above Jupiters cloud tops, roughly equivalent to the distance between Earth and Moon. In July, NASAs Juno satellite began orbiting Jupiter and will sometimes swoop to within 5,000 kilometers of Jupiters cloud tops. via NASA

“Santa Claus” (Leading Aircraftman Fred Fazan) hands out presents to Dutch children at Volkel, Holland. December 1944.

Members of No.122 Wing had saved their sweet ration for weeks, and contributed enough money to give the children their first proper Christmas party. It was noted by the photographer that this year Santa was afraid of Messerschmitts, so he decided to come by RAF Tempest!

Always always always…

If they repeal Obamacare, they are in for a rude awakening. I don’t think they want to get rid of health care for 21 million Americans. I don’t think they want to be those who say that if you have a disability, you can’t get insurance — the way it used to be before Obamacare. … They repeal Obamacare at their peril.

Idiot. My bro was close to getting insurance. Then when Obama care came out he got screwed out of insurance through work. Then had to pay the penalty because he couldn't even afford Obamacare.
