Chubby, brunette Eunice Kinnison sat in a rocker, reading the Sunday papers and listening to the radio. Her husband Ralph lay sprawled upon the davenport, smoking a cigarette and reading the current issue of EXTRAORDINARY STORIES against an unheard background of music. Mentally, he was far from Tellus, flitting in his super-dreadnaught through parsec after parsec of vacuous space. E.E. "Doc" Smith, Triplanetary, Chapter 5: "1941"

Jupiter and Beyond the Infinite
A "wow" shot up at the Astronomy Picture of the Day. Jupiter eclipses Ganymede, watched by the Hubble Space Telescope to see how "hazy" the upper atmosphere of Jupiter is. Wow.
