Jupiter's storm has been raging since before your great-great-grandparents were born.
That storm — the Great Red Spot — has churned for centuries, and it's wider than the entire Earth. Wrap your head around that before we even get to the size of the planet itself. By volume, roughly 1,300 Earths could fit inside Jupiter. Stack every other planet in the solar system together, and Jupiter still outweighs the lot of them — more than twice over. And despite being that colossal, it completes a full rotation in under ten hours, faster than any other planet we know. It also has at least 95 moons. One of them, Ganymede, is the largest moon in the solar system — bigger than the planet Mercury. Jupiter isn't just big. It's a world unto itself, running on its own rules.
