But ever since I was little, the stars, and particularly our solar system, has held a wonderful fascination for me. Your video presentations are just great. Solid science with a sense of wonderment at what the cosmos have in store for us. Especially love what you've done on the gas & ice giants - just terrific! I hope you are able to keep them coming.

    Jupiter must be filled with lots of rocky space debris just taking it's proximity to the asteroid belt into consideration. Also, all its rocky moons and its gravity surely brought in extra solar system massive objects from that period a few billions years ago. Just my thoughts on the matter

    Oh, and one thing thought you would bring up- the theoretical, most likely (?) "Diamond-Rain" that is hypothesized to shower down deep on some of Neptune's atmospheric levels? If I recall correctly, its from the break-down of methane into its constituent carbon, that sinks- upon reaching a lower level w/ enough pressure, then solidifying? I've even heard of a possible solid-diamond core from a few different sources over the years... personally, meh... maybe, maybe not? If so we'll blow the f*in clouds off one day & bust out the drill rigs I guarantee it!!! lol

    @BenGrem917 5 лет назад

    Gas until you get to the rocky core, eh? I was under the impression that NASA rather theorized that there were pressure gradients in Jupiter where those gases would be compressed into liquid, and further down still, into liquid metallic hydrogen. Would this mean that, from a terrestrial vernacular, Jupiter has a surface of hydrogen oceans? Furthermore, wouldn't the extreme temperatures of Jupiter's core preclude the possibility of a 'rocky' core? Would it be more of a shining bright magma core, if anything?
    I'm extremely eager to see what the Juno mission finds about the consistency of Jupiter's depths. It's easily the coolest planet in the solar system aside from Earth.

    Hmm the gas giant segment was a bit disappointing in terms of information on the gas giants but given the date it is kind of understandable as I don't believe the Cassini's grande finale and the ongoing Juno mission have revealed so much about how much more complex and strange the gas giants really are practically everything is even stranger within Jupiter 3000km of atmospheric flows before transitioning into rotating as a rigid body, highly dynamic and substantial non dipole components to its magnetosphere in particular a second magnetic south pole along its equator termed the great blue spot and the very different dynamics at play with its auroral dynamics. And then there is the puzzling mysterious fuzzy core. It is so fascinating but probably what makes it even more interesting is the comparison with the grande finale results from Saturn which suggest a well defined core boundary and 9000 kilometers of effective atmosphere.
    It is a pity we still lack so much information on the ice giants Neptune in particular has lots of strange things going on including some interesting semi seasonal variability(after all we haven't seen a full Neptunian year) and the question of the thus far unidentified compounds and or mechanisms responsible for its distinctive blue hue. And then of course there is the moon Triton a captured potentially habitable world in an inspiraling orbit. One interesting although highly speculative prospect for Neptune is the question of whether life could exist in its clouds/seas perhaps ejected microbes from Triton. Regarding Uranus I have heard they think that rather than there being a lack of heat that it may be getting trapped via a heat inversion which if true could suggest some very horrific conditions below relative to Neptune. Unfortunately it is pretty much all speculation for these ice giants sigh. We don't even know if they really are twins because we lack enough actual data to confirm that.
    Also worth noting that in comparison to Jupiter and Saturn which are almost entirely hydrogen with hundreds of Earth masses worth of each hydrogen and helium Uranus and Neptune seem to "only" have a few Earth masses of each really emphasizing how different they are from the gas giants. Given the ubiquity of ice giant planets across our galaxy it is so unfortunate we know so little about these fascinating worlds.
