What is the likelyhood that a random person would say "The planet Jupiter" if you asked them what this picture is without any context? 1 /1000?

Pretty damn slim. I think some people could recognize things like the great red spot and the cloud bands, but this is a view we don't ever get to see. It'd be the same asking someone about a picture of Saturn without the rings.
