Beautiful picture.

What makes it more beautiful is that it’s a round object without mushroom spikes sticking out all over the place!

In before the flat world believers!

Beautiful photo - thank you for posting.

Relative size of Jupiter, Earth/Moon and Mars.

By Jove!

Jupiter is HUGE, HUGE, HUGE. But it’s a little sobering to realize that it would have had to have been 80 times more massive than it is in order to have been the tiniest type of star out there in the universe.

A seriously weird planet, those gas giants.

Have is ever been established that there is any solid to them? Not that it would matter under all that poison atmosphere, just always wondered if there was any solid ground.

[Larry Lucido]

It’s hoarding all the matter!

Hey, I wondered where I put my marble.

[lee martell]

Imagine if that massive planet exploded.
Earth wouldn’t know what hit it.
Compare popping an empty paper bag, with Earth being a nearby breadcrumb.

All the methane a civilization would ever need, if we can get it.

If you are going to go to the work of drawing a kine, I’d suggest you at least use paper.

(As I suspected, it is a bovine word, and is the old fashion singular of cows)

[Huaynero]

WOW, when I was a kid traded 3-steelies and my best shooter for a marble just like that!

[Does so]

Earth wouldn’t exist but for Jupiter—which has captured a ~zillion planet-destroying objects. (and why we’re alone).

"The Lord sure makes some beautiful worlds."

Yes, Big Jupe is cold and nasty and has a poisonous atmosphere and bone-crushing pressure and gravity, but it sure paints a pretty picture.

Not only is Jupiter the largest planet orbiting the Sun, it contains more than twice the amount of material of all other objects in the solar system combined — including all the planets, moons, asteroids and comets. In composition, Jupiter resembles a star, and scientists estimate that if it had been at least 80 times more massive at its formation, it could have become a type of star called a red dwarf rather than a planet.

What kind of idiots are they hiring at NASA to write this crap? Oh, it's got twice the material of the rest of the solar system, but hey, IF it was EIGHTY times bigger, it'd be a star... What is the point of writing that?
