Jupiter
BLOMBERGSVÄGEN, PÅVALSBY
10 km
Jupiter is the largest planet in the Solar System, a gas giant more than twice as massive as all the other planets in the solar system combined. It is no wonder that it was named after the chief Roman god.
Jupiter is covered in ammonia clouds arranged in multicolored bands. Along their edges, turbulent storms are constantly raging. The Great Red Spot is a storm larger than Earth which has been going on for at least 200 years.
Jupiter is located on privately owned land, but it is permitted to visit the planet and temporarily park while viewing it.
