Gaseous Diversity


The magnificent swirls of Jupiter's atmosphere. Made up of many different gasses, they have multiple layers leading down to what we believe could be a liquid or possibly solid rocky core.
Solar prominences, caused by magnetic fields being twisted by the differential rotation of the sun's atmosphere. It's amazing that differential rotation on the sun and on Jupiter can create such magnificent occurrences. Jupiter could have become a small star if it had been bigger, which is amazing to thing about.
