Jupiter is a planet made of gases. I'm not sure if it has solid terrain.

What do you mean by that.. that its a planet by being gaseous or by whether it has solid terrain or not?

That picture was taken with Hubble's near infrared camera.

Jupiter is a jovian planet (Gas Giant) composed mostly of Hydrogen and Helium with some trace gasses. The inner core of Jupiter is composed of liquid due to the tremendous pressure. There is no solid surface for anybody to walk on......

Cool. I thought the colors of Jupiter always looked different in other pictures I've seen.

There's like a green tint to the picture.

those are false colors mapped onto near infrared wavelengths.

That's because this is a near-infrared image.

We should send a nuclear missile into the core of Jupiter and get it to ignite into a 2nd sun.

Man, all that money and the picture still comes out blurry. What a waste.

 

[cerebusPu]

imagine if all that gas ignited......

Not to mention - a human wouldn't be able to withstand the gravitational forces at the surface.
edit: nope. Just checked. I never looked up that fact, and always believed whatever it was that some teacher at some point said... gravity is only between 2 and 3 times that of earth.

it'll take more than a puny missile to do that. it's being bombarded by meteors all the time and nothing.
