Jupiter's strangest
feature, however, may
be a 25,000 mile deep
soup of exotic fluid
sloshing around its
interior. It's called
liquid metallic
hydrogen.
"Liquid metallic
hydrogen has low
viscosity, like water,
and it's a good
electrical and thermal
conductor," says
Caltech's David
Stevenson, an expert
in planet formation,
evolution, and
structure. "Like a
mirror, it reflects light,

As shown in the diagram, the Gossamer Ring has two parts: the Amalthea
Gossamer Ring (closer to Jupiter) and the Thebe Gossamer Ring. Saturn's
rings are mostly made of ice. Jupiter's rings are different - they are very

Moons of Jupiter

Jupiter has 67 natural satellites. Of these, 51 are less

than 10kilometers in diameter and have only been
discovered since 1975. The four largest moons, visible

Gravity
assist
In orbital mechanics
and aerospace
engineering, a
gravitational
slingshot, gravity
assist maneuver, or
swing-by is the use of
the relative movement
(e.g. orbit around
Jupiter) and gravity of a
planet to alter the path
and speed. Gravity
assistance can be used
to accelerate or
decelerate a spacecraft.
The "assist" is provided
by the motion of the
gravitating body as it
pulls on the spacecraft.

years ago, it set to leave
the solar system the
first manmade object to
ever do so.

The Red Spot of

Jupiter

The Great Red Spot is a giant, spinning

storm in Jupiter's atmosphere. It is like
a hurricane on Earth, but it is much
larger. Jupiter's Great Red Spot is more
than twice the size of Earth! Winds
inside this storm reach speeds of
about 270 miles per hour. Nobody
knows when the Great Red Spot first
appeared on Jupiter, but it has been
seen on Jupiter ever since people

According to Amy Simon of NASA's Goddard Space Flight

Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, recent NASA Hubble
Space Telescope observations confirm the Great Red Spot
now is approximately 10,250 miles across, less than half
the size of some historical measurements. Astronomers
have followed this downsizing since the 1930s.

This an Electro Magnetic (EM) sound recording.
This planet's magnetic fields is SO immense big, it
reaches its neighbor Saturn. It's gravitational pull
and magnetic radiation even affects Saturn, unlike
any other planet in our galaxy. EM recording is
converted into soundwaves, so we could hear the
EM pulsing, rumbling, distorting. This planet has
the widest variety of "sounds" we could hear.
