Great article and fascinating topic here.

Just got a very minor quibble with the title because not “everything” about Jupiter is slightly different – its moons, ring system and (telescopically) visible bands and storms including the Great Red Spot stay the same after all – although the latter is apparently shrinking and could be in its death throes!

BTW. Phil Plait’s ‘Bad Astronomy’ blog also has a good post about this complete with some interesting illustations and simulation images :

which might be worth checking out if you are interested and haven’t yet seen?
