Planet Jupiter has lost a belt!
No BP didn't screw up again....it's a cyclical occurrence.

"(It) should be obvious to anyone who has trained even a rather small telescope on Jupiter over the past few weeks: one of its iconic stripes is just plain gone."

1. It was actually more of a sash than a belt.
And really, all the cool planets stopped wearing sashes a while back.

7. The question we should all be asking is where was President Obama
when the belt, or as some of the kids say, "the sash", disappeared and why won't he release the papers that we know he must have concerning this mysterious disappearance.

Some say that the president has a lot to hide on this one...

We shall see.

Coming up tonight on Fox news, our very own Bill O'Reilly will delve deeply into this deep space scandal.
