Jupiter In Our Solar System

“Jupiter, you were larger than life, unfathomable to my small-town sensibilities. My heart couldn’t comprehend all of you at once. But this wasn’t my first rodeo; life had hurled love at me before. Step one of my plan: play hard to get. But, fuck, you called me and I came flying like an asteroid. So I chucked plans and lists out the window for you, threw my heart into your hands. Good thing you’re a good catch as well as a catch. Spontaneous lover, you danced and made up the steps as you went along. We kissed like giggling teenagers, we gossiped like cackling old women. You taught me rap songs, you took me to playgrounds at midnight so I could look at the star streaked sky while you pushed the swing higher and higher, until I was floating, until I felt as infinite as you. You kissed me until I tasted lightning.”

Swirls of Jupiter

Jupiter is a very stormy, turbulent, violent planet. The planet completes a day (or one complete rotation) within roughly 10 hours, which creates massive winds, producing these swirls, and violent storms. The fast rotation coupled with the fact that the planet is nothing but gas greatly multiplies the Coriolis effect. Earth too has a Coriolis effect, this creates the characteristic hurricane shapes and also contributes to the fact that storms will spin the opposite direction in different hemispheres. Luckily, our rotation is slower - our storms are less frequent and less violent than they would be if our days were shorter.

The above images come from the recent Juno mission by NASA.
