What Happens Beneath Jupiter’s Clouds

Unlike Earth, Jupiter has no solid surface. As pressure increases with depth, hydrogen gas is compressed into liquid — and eventually into metallic hydrogen, a rare state of matter found nowhere on Earth. This exotic interior powers Jupiter’s enormous magnetic field, the strongest in the solar system. @BeyondEarthBuckleUp Image Credit: Nasa/gsfc/David Ladd #JupiterScience #MetallicHydrogen #gasgiants #planetaryscience #solarsystem #astronomy #spacefacts #beyondearthbuckleup #jupiter #nasaimages
