Shiver what can swallow the Earth right in the Solar System

Jupiter's red monster can be more than 480 km deep and more than enough to swallow the Earth.

Jupiter's red monster can be more than 480 km deep and more than enough to swallow the Earth.

NASA's new statement, based on probe results by the Juno spacecraft, shows that the Great Red Spot - Jupiter's famous red storm is surprisingly deep. Although it has shrunk considerably over the years, this red "monster" is still between 350 and more than 480km deep and 16,000km in diameter.

According to the Daily Mail, the 3D model of the storm shows that with that depth, it is more than powerful enough to swallow Earth and other rocky planets of the Solar System , if our planet "courages" to move forward. near the.

In a recent paper published in the journal Science, Dr. Scott Bolton from the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), principal investigator of the Juno mission, said that in addition to the red storm, there are thousands of other giant storms. raging in Jupiter's beautiful "sea of ​​clouds" , all deeper than originally planned.

This new discovery contributes to an overview of how Jupiter's dense atmosphere works. As the closest gas planet to us, Jupiter is the "window" to the world of a different type of planet than worlds like Earth, whose atmosphere makes up most of the planet's mass. instead of the crust and mantle like our planet.

Juno has made a total of 37 orbits of Jupiter and is currently trying to measure the depth of the cyclones. Thanks to Juno, scientists also learned that the planet has an atmosphere rich in ammonia and water vapor. NASA once claimed this world is still capable of possessing a " strange life form" despite the storms.
