It's a giant roomba

>>11669734
lmao hell ya

>>11669730
It's really beautiful at least

Imagine slowly falling into Jupiter as his music intensifies.

>>11669730
it's a pretty cool planet. better than your planet, bitch

>>11669730

Pluto is technically a planet, and pretty irrelevant.

>>11669730
It’s actually very important and might be the only reason earth has intelligent life. Jupiter’s massive size acts as a ‘bodyguard’, almost any asteroids that might hit earth get sucked into it or diverted toward it instead.

>>11669730
I want to live on a moon of a gas giant. Just imagine looking up and seeing this big guy above you.

>>11669730
No way Jupiter is fucking amazing. The shit that goes on in it's atmosphere, we don't even know what's going on near the core.

Did I mention that it's also a giant slingshot for moons?

>>11669730

This planet will become the center of human civilization

>>11669730
>A ball of gas that does nothing. No life, no nothing.
tidal forces create an environment of its moons that could host life

>>11671364
Gay life, like microbes, maybe. Nothing actually interesting.

>>11669730
Imagine getting filtered by a ball of space gas.

>>11669730
Maybe we could simulate our solar system without jupiter. We might find out it's important for some reason we don't even understand yet. I mean, we're here. Don't fix it if it aint broke.
Plus it beautiful. In an endless cold expanse it's a beautiful oasis

>>11671364
There are massive oceans of water suspended in the jovian atmosphere with convection cells of organic chemicals precipitating through it.
You could have massive sky whales and stuff like that in jupiter without us ever being able to detect them.

>>11671379
>>11671379
>without us ever being able to detect them
surely we can detect them

>>11671381
No he already said we cant

>>11671566
We can and we have. Its not public data.

Solar System vacuum cleaner.

>>11669730
Like >>11670521 said, that big boy is the janny of our solar system. We don’t have to dodge edgy rocks.
However, I have an irrational fear of getting vacuumed myself, by Jupiter. Imagine being in a spaceship, and then slowly drifting towards, seeing that creamy sea of storms close you in, the entire hull shaking and burning as the tidal forces rip it apart like it’s crepe paper.
>>11670545
And having massive constant radiation rot my eyes? No thanks.

>>11669730
the fact it exist at all proves it has purpose. otherwise it wouldn't exist.

>>11671629
Sounds like an amazing short film to watch on VR or a fullsize IMAX screen.

>>11671639
Would need to shit and piss before going, tho.

>>11669730
A ball of gas that does nothing. No life, no nothing.
We have no idea what resides in the gas. For all we know there are space whales in there. Fucking horrific.

Is Jupiter the one with giant diamond boulders, or is that Saturn?

>>11669730
it saves us from space shrapnel

ITT: fags who haven't seen the gifs

>>11671367
Even that would be discovery of the decade. Besides, if there is some source of energy, what's stopping more complex life from emerging? Well besides, the sheer improbability of complex life.

>>11671711
I think that's just a thing that happens in gas giants.

>>11672661
there's something weirdly surreal about this, the combination of the grainy black and white camera and low framerate makes it seem like it's from a 1920s silent movie

>>11669730
it's a big gas slut, we could farm it for hydrogen in the future
