This is awesome to see all the nuance details in Jupiter's atmosphere. I find this interesting in how it can give us a better understanding of how our star could actually be underneath all that light and heat that blinds our current abilities to see similar details. Remember, Jupiter is essentially what we could expect of similar larger systems like a protostar, brown (dwarf) star, etc. All the stars are filled with gas and plasma...well as best we know or surmise. Jupiter helps to give us ideas how various fluids (metal hydrogen), gases, and plasma can be since we are actually able to see its particles. Just like Jupiter's auroras are also influenced by its moons, it would be neat to see how our planets influence any special type of auroras our sun has from its own gigantor magnetic field that protects us from extra solar winds & energies. Pretty neat!

Are we able to see deep enough to perceive where it starts to become a hydrosphere (fluid, though not necessarily omposed of liquid water) through pressure & low temperature? Can we see the tips of metallic water mountains protruding up into the atmosphere? I'd also definitely love to see any evidence of organic chemistry, especially biochemicals we might reasonably attribute to some radical form of Life...

Hello! A technical feedback. You export your video in 1080p60 which requires double power than 1080p30 does. My machine handles it but obviously there are ten thousands of users who's don't. KZbin converts into a 720p60, 480p30 etc. (all 30 fps down from 480p) but there's no 1080p30 and 720p30. And these animations don't really require 60 fps so that plus power need is for nothing. Instead of 60 fps, you could enable motion blur on 30 fps so practically many people could view these awesome videos in 1080p, everyone having a weaker machine, instead of viewing in 720p60 or even 480p30 format - just because that double number of frames to be decoded every second. :)

X-ray astronomy is a lot harder to observe, because you need your telescope to exit the atmosphere, as the atmosphere would block x-rays from getting through. This means it is much more expensive to do your research in the X-ray spectrum, compared to the UV/Visible/IR and radio spectra. You would either need a space telescope, or as it was done in its earliest days, a balloon-deployed telescope. One particular type of astronomical body that is best observed in the X-ray spectrum is the accretion disk surrounding black holes and neutron stars. Because of how hot these regions of space get, most of the spectrum they emit is in the X-ray portion. The black hole accretion disk is anything but black, as it is the brightest light source we ever observe in space, when accounting for how far away it is from us when we observe it.

I imagine the impact of an asteroid on an icy moon like Callisto would vaporize quite a bit of water ice instantly, and also deposit quite a bit of heat into the soil around the impact site. Maybe the reason there’s a ring around the crater where the concentration of water is lower than normal is because the impact vaporized all the ice on the surface initially, then the leftover heat from the impact melted subsurface ice suspended in the soil, and allowed it to flow toward the bottom of the crater for a time before it refroze.
