0:00
imagine standing on the edge of the
0:02
cosmos staring at the swirling stormy
0:05
giant of our Solar System Jupiter it's a
0:08
gas giant so massive that it could fit
0:10
over 1300 Earths inside it but what if
0:13
you didn't just look at Jupiter what if
0:16
you fell in buckle up space Adventurer
0:19
this journey is a one-way ticket to the
0:21
most extreme ride of your life let's
0:23
dive into the depths of Jupiter to
0:25
uncover the secrets hidden within the
0:27
gas giant that both fascinates and ter
0:29
hor ifies us first off Jupiter isn't
0:33
like Earth there's no ground to stand on
0:36
no solid surface to stop your fall if
0:38
you were to LEAP into Jupiter you'd be
0:41
entering an endless expanse of gas
0:44
crushed by unimaginable pressures baked
0:47
by searing heat and swept away by
0:49
ferocious winds but let's take this step
0:52
by step what exactly would happen as you
0:55
fell as you approached Jupiter you'd
0:58
first encounter its outermost atmosphere
1:01
a beautiful but deadly veil of hydrogen
1:03
and helium it looks calm from afar with
1:06
its iconic bands of color and the Raging
1:09
Great Red Spot a storm twice the size of
1:12
Earth but don't be fooled beneath this
1:15
mesmerizing exterior lies chaos as you
1:18
break through the upper atmosphere
1:20
temperatures start to drop yes drop at
1:24
first you'd be greeted by freezing cold
1:26
winds as the outer layers of Jupiter are
1:29
much cooler than than its core but
1:31
things won't stay cold for long at
1:33
around 100 km deep you'd reach the
1:36
ammonia clouds here it's a surreal sight
1:40
crystals of ammonia ICE Sparkling like
1:43
frozen diamonds it might look enchanting
1:47
but don't linger the pressure is already
1:50
building and you barely scratched the
1:52
surface deeper down at about 10,000 km
1:55
below the surface you'd find yourself in
1:58
a region of metallic hydrogen this is no
2:01
ordinary substance it's hydrogen
2:04
compressed so intensely that it behaves
2:06
like a metal conducting
2:08
electricity this layer stretches for
2:11
tens of thousands of kilometers and is
2:14
key to Jupiter's immense magnetic field
2:16
one of the most powerful in the solar
2:18
system at this point the temperature is
2:21
scorching around 15,000 de C hotter than
2:26
the surface of the Sun and the pressure
2:28
it's crushing you'd be facing 36 million
2:32
atmospheres of force far beyond anything
2:35
life on Earth could endure your
2:37
surroundings would be both breathtaking
2:39
and alien the deeper you go the darker
2:42
it gets the ammonia clouds above give
2:45
way to hydrogen gas which becomes so
2:48
dense that it starts to Glow faintly
2:51
it's like descending into a furnace of
2:53
glowing liquid metal the winds they're
2:56
unlike anything on Earth Jupiter storms
2:59
Rage with speeds of up to 600
3:02
kmph you'd be tossed around like a leaf
3:05
in a hurricane if you weren't already
3:07
vaporized by the Heat or crushed by the
3:09
pressure if somehow you survived this
3:13
far which is impossible for any known
3:15
material you'd eventually reach the core
3:19
what lies here is still a mystery
3:21
scientists believe Jupiter's core is a
3:24
dense mixture of rock and metal
3:26
surrounded by layers of ice and exotic
3:30
but let's face it getting to this core
3:32
would be your last stop the conditions
3:34
here are Beyond extreme and there's no
3:37
coming back now you might be wondering
3:40
could anything survive on Jupiter while
3:42
the core and deep atmosphere are
3:44
absolutely inhospitable there's some
3:47
speculation about the upper
3:50
atmosphere here temperatures and
3:52
pressures are more moderate and organic
3:55
molecules the building blocks of life
3:57
have been detected could float microbial
4:00
life forms exist here drifting on the
4:03
winds it's a thrilling possibility but
4:06
for now it remains just that a
4:09
possibility falling into Jupiter would
4:11
be a journey into destruction and awe
4:14
you'd experience crushing pressures
4:16
blistering heat and winds that defy
4:19
imagination yet despite the deadly
4:22
conditions Jupiter remains one of the
4:24
most fascinating objects in our solar
4:26
system it's a planet that holds more
4:28
secrets than and answers a cosmic giant
4:32
that continues to challenge our
4:33
understanding of the universe so the
4:36
next time you look up at the night sky
4:38
and spot that bright dot called Jupiter
4:41
remember it's not just a planet it's a
4:44
monstrous mysterious world that defies
4:47
logic and stretches the boundaries of
4:49
what we know about existence stay
4:52
curious keep wondering and remember
4:55
there's always more to explore in the
4:57
vast expanse of the cosmos
