Jupiter mysteries.

In our universe, we got 9 planets (well actually 8 since someone at NASA discovered that Pluto is actually not a planet, for reasons Im not too sure about). But out of all these planets, there is one thats more mysterious than all of them. The planet Jupiter.

First off all, Jupiter is not actually made from solid rock but actually from gases and hydrogen. Such is the mixture that actually make it look like solid mass. Now when looking at the planet, you notice something rather strange. First of all, Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system. So huge that its gravity deflects most light from foreign galaxies. Now when scientists or astronomers (whatever they call them) looked at the planet, they noticed that it has got 4 moons orbiting around it. Now that got a lot of people puzzled (including me. Gee I mean really). First of all, Jupiter is made from gases, so for it to have moons orbiting around it, it must somehow have a magnetic field from its core. Now how is that possible! Planet earth has a magnetic field because at its core there is molten iron ore that produces a magnetic field, forming the north and south poles. But Jupiter has a gas composition. So where does its magnetic field come from?

When scientists found out it shocked the world of science and chemistry. Apparently, the core of Jupiter has such great pressures that it actually turns hydrogen gas into a liquid, and that liquified hydrogen can produce a magmetic field, something nobody knew was possible before. Somehow that liquid hydrogen at such high pressures produced the most powerful magnetic field ever measured.
Another misteries concerns Jupiters moons. At one of the moons (the second if I remember correctly) there are active volcanoes on the surface. The highest count of active eruptions too. Now that baffled astronomers. How could that moon, so far from the sun where temperatures are some 300 degrees below freezing point, generate that much lava for its eruptions? Turns out that Jupiter's magnetic force is so vast that it actually stretch the moon apart, so much so that the friction produced cause so much heat that actually produces those eruptions. The same magnetic force causes Jupiter's forth moon, called Europa, to actually have an ocean around it. Yep Europa is covered in an ocean of water, just like earth. Since temperatures are freezing there, its only the top layer of the moon that is covered with solid ice, and below is the ocean that has not frozen because of the heat that the moon generates from Jupiter's squeeze. Very interesting indeed.

So interesting that scientists sent a rover to that moon so that it can go into Jupiter's ocean to see if there is life there. Most of the times where there is water there is life. Most are holding their breath to see what we are going to find in there.

With all the misteries from that planet, I am sure there is just one more waiting to be discovered.
Also I believe that life is unique to earth, but hey all I can do is watch what these people are gonna find out there. Interesting and mysterious indeed...
