Has Lester reported on the danger of Guam capsizing if too many people inhabit it? It’s a big problem! He should do a tour of all 57 states reporting fake news from each one.....

The radiation in the vicinity of Jupiter is around 1,000,000 rad. We’d all be getting a nice tan.

[Fightin Whitey]

Keep it up.

I'll make you sadder'n you know...

[apostoli]

"Jupiter is over 11 times bigger than Earth"

You're only out a factor of 10 to power of 2!

[TigersEye]

I’d run rings around you drivin’ my Mercury all up and down the road.

[ETL]

He was only off by a factor of a million. I just checked with the astronomy website Heavens-Above.com.

Uh...magnetic fields are not normally measured in watts, are they? And they don't fry anything unless they are oscillating rapidly...kinda like a microwave. Unless physics has changed recently. 😊

Here’s how Saturn would look if it passed by Earth very closely without any gravitational destruction.

O NOES!!

[Ciaphas Cain]

Okay, ya got me. I'm just a guy with a history degree. My grasp of electrical dynamics is spotty at best :-P

Even so, I imagine that NASA has had to harden their probes to that planet. Jupiter is an electric powerhouse not to get trifled with. A few thousand miles down and the pressure turns the hydrogen into one vast metallic shell of protons. That kind of output can't possibly be conducive for life.

[doosee]

I vividly remember the day the US military pulled Saddam Hussein out of his hole. Lester said, “Can this man get a fair trial in Iraq?”. Liberal minds

[ETL]

Jupiter is 11 times WIDER than Earth.

[xp38]

By Jove! I don’t think Lesters got it.

[Ken H]

Happens every 216 million years. Jupiter takes everything not nailed down on Earth.

[ETL]

For those that don’t know, a light-year, the distance light travels in a year at its ~constant speed of 186,000 miles per second, works out to about 5.9 trillion miles.At its current distance of about 415 million miles, Jupiter is roughly 37 light-minutes from Earth.

Lester is just missing his, “Zero.”

Exactly. s/b 415 million miles. Let's not be picky.

We are insignificant in the universe. Right click and view much larger image.

Just 2.2 milliseconds away at warp factor 1.

I'll kick you in your baby moons!

[TigersEye]

Oh, yeah!?! Well, ... could Europa cow while it jumps over the moon? Huh?
