Jupiter's Great Red Spot art
See Jupiter's Great Red Spot as you've never seen it before. Artist Mik Petter created this unique, digital artwork using data from the JunoCam imager on NASA's Juno spacecraft. The fractal artwork mirrors the swirling dynamism of Jupiter's atmosphere, offering a visual echo of the patterns found in nature and mathematics.

Jupiter

Jupiter is the largest and oldest planet in the solar system, formed shortly after the Sun over 4.5 billion years ago. The celestial body was named after Jupiter, the king of the gods in Roman mythology.

The Jupiter's size is enormous—Earth would fit into it 1,321 times. The gas giant orbits the sun at an average distance of 778 million km (484 million miles). The planet's immense gravity influences the paths of other planets and protects the inner solar system by deflecting incoming comets and asteroids.

Jupiter has no solid surface—no spaceship can land there. Its "body" is mostly hydrogen and helium. A spacecraft on its way to the center of the planet, 71,500 km away, would face immense difficulties due to high wind an immense and increasing pressure.
Recent studies suggest the planet may have a dense core about 20,000 km in diameter, composed of rock, metal, and icy materials. Around that core is a layer of metallic hydrogen, thousands of kilometers thick, an element created under immense pressure.

The planet is famous for its Great Red Spot, a super-massive storm larger than Earth, raging for centuries. The planet's magnetic field—20,000 times stronger than Earth's—creates spectacular auroras at its poles. Jupiter's rapid rotation completes a day in just under 10 hours.
In contrast to Earth, Jupiter has 95 moons; the four largest are Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto, known as the Galilean moons.

Are you confused by all the conflicting messages that rush at us daily? You are not alone.

But be aware that this also happens to less educated people (like me) who are even less able to understand what interests are behind these messages.
Many people feel more and more helpless or ignore the obvious and run to the next strong man.
How can this be avoided in the future?

Education could help. Give the next generation a better chance. Teach them critical thinking, make them understand the connections.
