Jupiter from 1979 to Present Day

Jupiter, the solar system's largest planet, is a gas giant boasting a swirling atmosphere of vibrant colors dominated by ammonia clouds. Its iconic Great Red Spot, a centuries-old anticyclonic storm, dwarfs Earth in size. Composed primarily of hydrogen and helium, Jupiter possesses a powerful magnetic field and numerous moons, including the four Galilean satellites – Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto – each with unique geological characteristics. Its immense gravitational pull significantly influences the orbits of other celestial bodies within the solar system.
