Big storms are different on Jupiter. On Earth, huge hurricanes and colossal cyclones are centered on regions of low pressure, but on Jupiter, it is the high-pressure, anti-cyclone storms that are the largest. On Earth, large storms can last weeks, but on Jupiter they can last years.
On Earth, large storms can be as large as a country, but on Jupiter, large storms can be as large as planet Earth. Both types of storms are known to exhibit lightning.
The featured image of Jupiter's clouds was composed from images and data captured by the robotic Juno spacecraft as it swooped close to the massive planet in August 2020. A swirling white oval is visible nearby, while numerous smaller cloud swirls extend into the distance.
On Jupiter, light-colored clouds are usually higher up than dark clouds. Despite their differences, studying storm clouds on distant Jupiter provides insights into storms and other weather patterns on familiar Earth.

The terror and peace of spirals - its finished !! Finally !!!
Full piece is up on the pats of reon! It’s a Big Lad and I put far too much detail in all of it. However 🙏🏻 I love gas giants, space, and crunch metal with solar panels that make it look like a pretty tiny bug flying around the heads of two divine

Spectember D13: Xenobiology
Tumblr media
In a temperate gaseous planet around a star system far away from earth, almost 55 light years away, humanity found out a very complex biosphere with diverse multicellular life, is one of almost a dozen of unique habitable gaseous planets found so far which collected the ideal conditions to have developed life. Although the shape and diversity of these beings vary depending of the area of the atmosphere and latitude of the planet they inhabit, the majority seems to fit the basic order of dominance, agile predatory forms, long filter feeders floaters that wanders across the densest aero plankton swarms that feast of the nutritious currents, small “pelagic” beings and sort of parasitic and symbiotic critters living in the mega floaters and so on… but the reason why it got a highlight compared to other world it was a unique resident there, as from from all the jellyfish like or annelid like creatures with very strange body forms and features, there was a species of about a meter in length, which resemble a humanoid being.
They were called the silver goblin which for matters of coincidence have some reminiscence of a supposed creature that came from a very old legend of earth, specifically from the times of 20th century American culture alien sightings, this creature was reported to have been small and agile, invulnerable to bullets and able to fly, which incredible similar these do that as well, though their flight ability is limited to moving across the large floating critters they need to live on.
From a distance they sort of look like the basic form of a fairy tale being, but this look is only superficial as a close check reveals their peculiar anatomy, Their heads are large mostly because these host half of the body organs like the stomach and heart, though what seems to be ears are actually just frontal fins, long eyes protrude with eyestalks in each side, what looked like a large smile with needle like teeth were actually a gill ranks, and the humanoid body was only in appearance, as the supposed forelimbs were actually a pair of oral proboscis that help it to caught their prey, a short chest like cavity that extend in a tubular end and divert with two tails that helps these to control the direction of flight while they glide through their mega organisms habitats.
