​@@NelsonClickHave you watched the horror-scifi film Event Horizon? The whole plot takes place in the atmosphere of Neptune, where the spaceship is found floating adrift. This is a great narrative resource because during the whole film you can notice a raging storm of tempestuous winds, thunders and lightnings shaking the ship, which adds to the sheer feeling of terror and helplessness. The ominous presence of Neptune and its terrifying atmosphere is the perfect scenario for such a film. I always remember this cult classic when I read about the gas giants' turbulent atmospheres, it's a good way to imagine how scary it would feel to actually be there.

There’s something deep under the clouds, it’s not just a ball of clouds. As he was saying in this video, about 2,000 miles deep, there is something, possibly an ocean of various chemicals, liquid hydrogen? Deep near the center, gravity compresses hydrogen into a solid, that behaves like a metal. Or so they theorize, no one really knows for sure. Long ago they dropped a probe into the clouds, it didn’t get far before it was crushed by atmospheric pressure.

Absolutely, just getting enough footage to let people really bask in the reality of planet sized storms raging harder than anything we've witnessed. I just want to know why they'd put all the effort into trying to figure out atmospheric composition the hard way when they could just launch a mini rocket to dart in and ride the centripetal force just right to swoop by grabbing some of it, using that momentum/angle to break free of it's gravity. IDK, seems pretty reasonable to me, but idk what kind of atmospheric pressure is right at the very surface.

[@augustday9483]

I'd love to know what the core looks like. At those pressures where hydrogen becomes like a metallic soup. It would be a totally alien environment compared to anything we've ever seen or experienced on Earth. I wonder if any extremophile life could possibly exist down there.

That's almost close enough to see Dave and the Discovery spacecraft. The monolith is near Europa LoL Just to think that this is Jupiters stratosphere. The Jovian world is way below the topside of the atmosphere These are the best images yet! These thorough images of Jupiters clouds, I wonder why they weren't readily available until now. Your older video was the only other one that had this close up of Jupiter on this particular site. Didn't realize the red spot is convex Jupiter being the solar systems vacuum cleaner, the theory we have in the lab is that Jupiter and the other has giants are smaller than they are if only solid gas. But like dropping stones in a glass of water riding the water level, these gas Giants probably have rocks in their cores that they are, not that formed with the planet. Jupiter being so close to the asteroid belt ate more rocks, and bigger size ones at that, making it blow out bigger, but our theory is that all these irregular sized asteroids and dwarf planets it swallowed might have clumped up in the core making an irregular shaped rocky core. The red spot could be the highest point of this conglomerate clump, acting like a rock or a log under the surface of moving water. The liquid swirls around the protrusion creating a backwater current. It behaved just like it, and the fixed position and slowly shrinking from physical erosion over time, especially from those kinds of winds, is the only explanation to us. There's something solid under there

[@CaptainPanick]

That is actually an interesting theory. It would have to be the size of a planet and stick out like 40,000km from the "surface" (if other's estimations are correct) in order to cause a swirl that reaches to the top. One would think it would collapse in onto itself but who knows what kind of physics is going on below those marvelous clouds. I'm obviously no expert, just thinking it is an interesting theory.
