Props for a site of that visual complexity that was performant, visually appealing, and eminently readable on mobile.

Huh. Opening this webpage on Firefox floored my laptop (8 core 16GB). The lag was several seconds, including for clicking "back" or opening a new tab.

Follow-up: this only seems to be the case when the "Animated Great Red Spot" image is in view.

It opened instantly and worked smoothly in Firefox on my 8 year old android.

The use of weird non-native scrolling really hurts navigation and full justification looks clumsy when screen is narrow. But otherwisr it's not terrible.

The article is incredibly interesting, but the choice of colors is so low-contrast that I can only read in it "reader mode", where the animations don't work. I have resorted to "select all" where the letters stand out a bit, but it's ugly and not very ergonomic...

If the consensus is that the mobile color scheme is better than the desktop one I can just change it

It's white on black, or at least white on very dark gray. Contrast is about as high as it could be on my device.

Might there be a problem with your device?
