Please Do Not Disrespect The Moon

Jupiter’s Bands of Clouds

This enhanced-color image of Jupiter’s bands of light and dark clouds was created by citizen scientists Gerald Eichstädt and Seán Doran using data from the JunoCam imager on NASA’s Juno spacecraft.

Three of the white oval storms known as the “String of Pearls” are visible near the top of the image. Each of the alternating light and dark atmospheric bands in this image is wider than Earth, and each rages around Jupiter at hundreds of miles (kilometers) per hour. The lighter areas are regions where gas is rising, and the darker bands are regions where gas is sinking.

to celebrate our seven new exoplanets, i made a pastel nasa logo!

Your fave is problematic: Jupiter

could lose some weight. is ginormous. like HUGE. all planets of our solar system could fit inside with room to spare

is called a gas giant for a reason. super gassy. really really gassy. dude. stop.

(hydrogen and helium)

privacy nut: looks like a caramel candy but won’t show us his real surface. all we can see are his clouds and storms (terrible fucking storms let me tell you)

has a storm called “the red spot” that is several times larger than planet Earth

is thicc in all regards: his atmosphere is several hundreds of kilometres deep

probably doesn’t even have a real surface: the gas just slowly changes into liquid form. 

liquid. metallic (!). hydrogen. get a load of that. YO. 10 000 degrees celsius. weird as shit!

possibly doesn’t have a core. Jupiter always needs special treatment 

if he tried a little harder, he coulda been a star. get it together man. you just needed to be 75 times larger and you could’ve been a read dwarf. but no 

way too hot. so fucking scorching hot that he’s still cooling 4 billion years after forming (gives away more heat than he receives)

rotating too fast for his own good: going so fast (rotates around itself in less than 10 hours) that he’s shaped like a squished ball

has 67 moons… could’ve gone for 69 but gave up too early. boo

summary: big ass bully with a gas problem
