Jupiter is really the abode of thunder and lightning, so only the most fearless travelers can dare to get through its dense clouds, because on Earth it’s not every day that you get into whirlwinds of air rushing at a speed of 600 km / h, or to a dance of lightning that would have to be constantly dodged.
So, we entered the orbit of Jupiter, passing Mars and carefully making our way through the Asteroid Belt. But before you dive in, you decide to look around. This planet is not without reason called a masterpiece of surrealism or one of the paintings of Vincent van Gogh. Jupiter's atmosphere is thousands of abstract patterns. The artist seemed to have laid thick layers of gouache, carefully drawing thin threads with a brush that connect each “bead” in this chain.
And all these "beads" are giant whirlwinds, twisting into deep funnels that expose the lower layers of thick clouds. Some of these "beads" can be the size of the Moon, Mars and even larger than our planet! And Jupiter consists of 90% hydrogen, 9% helium, and the remaining share is nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur, neon, argon, krypton and other gases. His hypnotic whirlwinds frighten and fascinate at the same time. However, sharp flashes threatening from under the clouds warn that this place is very dangerous, but it is not for nothing that we have traveled such a path to turn back!
The temperature in the core reaches 24,000 C. It’s not for nothing that Jupiter is called a star that never ignited: if it managed to gain 80 times more mass during its formation, then the Sun would have one more “girlfriend” - a red dwarf, but Jupiter still - still preferred to be the largest planet, and not a star - a dwarf, so greed is clearly not about him, but he is not deprived of self-esteem.
If we got to the red-hot core of Jupiter on our ship, then the pressure would squeeze out all the atoms from us and our aircraft, and we would become a particle of this boiling "soup". Therefore, “swimming” in the hydrogen “ocean” and fascinated by looking at the distant light below, squeezing with weak rays through the thickness of the supercritical fluid, you understand that ammonia and hydrogen sulfide are still better than iron jelly, and you decide to go up again and dive in the clouds at high speed!
