Jupiter could swallow 1,300 Earths without even noticing.
Jupiter could swallow 1,300 Earths without even noticing. Not lined up — packed in by volume. Every continent, every ocean, every person who has ever lived, multiplied 1,300 times, and Jupiter still has room to spare. But the size is only half of it. Raging on its surface is a storm that has been turning for centuries. The Great Red Spot is wider than Earth is across — a single weather system bigger than an entire planet, and it shows no sign of stopping. Meanwhile, Jupiter spins faster than anything else in the solar system, completing a full day in under ten hours. It also has at least 95 known moons, one of which is larger than Mercury. Jupiter is not a planet you brush past. Follow Deep Field Vault for more of the solar system's stranger corners.
