The Secrets Hidden Beneath Jupiter's Atmosphere

Jupiter's thick swirling atmosphere holds many mysteries, from its colossal storms to its hidden oceans. The Great Red Spot, an iconic storm larger than Earth, has been raging for centuries and its intricate dynamics remain a puzzle. Deeper within, Jupiter's atmosphere is believed to transition into a liquid hydrogen layer, then to a metallic hydrogen layer, where hydrogen atoms are squeezed together so tightly that they behave like a metal. Scientists are also exploring the possibility of a liquid water layer buried even deeper, potentially providing an environment suitable for life. With ongoing missions like the Juno spacecraft, researchers continue to unravel the secrets hidden beneath Jupiter's enigmatic atmosphere.
