Yes I was looking at the pictures earlier, it's hard to imagine what the surface must be like, but it sure looks scary...There's really nothing to compare it to....

Its atmosphere is made up of mostly hydrogen gas and helium gas, like the sun...

Winds range from 192 mph to more than 400 mph....

The temperature in the clouds of Jupiter is about minus 145 degrees Celsius (minus 234 degrees Fahrenheit). ...

Deep under Jupiter’s clouds is a huge ocean of liquid metallic hydrogen. ...

Hard to imagine a more inhospitable place...oh did I forget to mention the crushing gravity....

It's a color enhanced "close up" image of one of our gas giant planets; Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus or Neptune.

Maybe everybody is having fun, but all I see is white cat in a snowstorm. I'm using Firefox if that helps.

Now you are clearly taking the pee, Lyn. That is clearly a negative of black cat in a coal cellar.

Funny thing is, I can get the image if I click a box in upper LHS when posting a reply. It's only there in the reply/edit screen. Next time I loggin I'll try Chrome or whatever. Firefox seems to have gone downhill of late.

I can see as described above that the image is there, it just doesn't immediatly show on Firefox. Anybody else had the same ?

Thanks everybody for the replies. John, do you hold shares or something ?

I'm runing the latest version, so am a bit flumoxed. Firefox can be a bit fickle at times, so I'll live with it for a week before tinkering. Forgot to login via Chrome/whatever, so I'll give it a bash later. Once again, mucho thanks to all for comments - this time I know I only thought I had lost the plot. Therapy ain't cheap .

Re: What Is It?

There was an old sci-fi anthology called Nine Tomorrows that includes a short story set on the surface of Jupiter. The commander of the mission has sent several crewmembers out to explore and they haven't returned. (They go "out" as avatars of the local inhabitants, rarely sensed but known to exist). He finally decided to send two more, himself and his old canine companion.

They go out, but they experience the beauty of Jupiter as natives, not as visitors. The last line, a conversation as they decide not to return, is "They would turn me back into a dog", "And me into a man".

Anybody familiar with the story?

Yes. It stared as a collection of stories and was turned into a book called "City." It is by Clifford Simak. I read it decades ago.
