Jupiter Is Not A Gas Giant — And NASA's Own Data Proves We've Been Wrong For 400 Years

If you found this interesting, please subscribe:    / @mystraltv   For more than 400 years, we called Jupiter a gas giant. According to NASA’s latest data, that may not be entirely true. When the Juno spacecraft entered orbit around Jupiter in 2016, scientists expected to confirm what textbooks had claimed for decades: a compact, solid core buried beneath layers of gas. That is not what they found. This documentary uncovers the real discoveries made by Juno: a strange “fuzzy core” with no clear boundary, an ocean of liquid hydrogen, metallic hydrogen generating one of the strongest magnetic fields in the solar system, giant storms creating mysterious “mushballs,” lightning hundreds of times more powerful than Earth’s, and winds reaching nearly 2,000 miles beneath the clouds. We also explore the Great Red Spot’s true depth, the hidden structure beneath Jupiter’s atmosphere, why scientists now believe giant planets may form differently than we thought, and how these discoveries are forcing astronomers to rethink not only Jupiter—but thousands of planets across the universe.
