In school we're all taught about the gas planets: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune ?And something we all know is that gas and fire ignite. Boom! Things get bright and loud fast! So, it makes perfect sense that you could light up a whole gas planet with just one match, right? The fire would take off all across the planet and nothing would be left in the end! Buuut, surprisingly, if we got rid of Jupiter in one epic blaze, it'd be bad news for us here on Earth!

Jupiter is famous for its wild weather patterns, and it's been acting like the solar system's mischievous jester. Giant storms that could swallow Earth whole, clouds made of colors that would put a rainbow to shame, and a hurricane that's been raging for centuries. It's like Jupiter's weather forecast is stuck on "extreme." Scientists are scratching their heads, trying to figure out why this colossal planet is so moody. Maybe it's a giant's version of a midlife crisis, or perhaps Jupiter's just showing off for the other planets.🪐🌩️🌪️

If you see pictures of different planets, you can always tell which one is Jupiter. If you see a big spot on a planet's side - here it is! The spot is Jupiter's enormous never-ending storm. The Great Red Spot is the largest storm in our Solar System. Just think about it: it's 40 times deeper than Mariana Trench!

How fast does light travel? The official speed of light has changed several times throughout history. After centuries of debate and experiments with different results, the scientific community finally settled the matter in 1983…maybe. To measure the speed of anything, you’ll need to know 2 things: the distance between point A and B, and the time it takes for an object to travel between those points. With distance divided by time, you’ll have yourself the speed of light.
But with every experiment done to measure light speed, there’s always been an extra cog in the wheel that everyone overlooked. Or rather brushed aside. And this is what we're going to talk about. But the truth is that the speed of light is the ultimate question among scientists, and so far, there’s just no way of truly measuring it. Unlike the speed of sound which is more conceivable, the speed of light might just be light-years ahead of us!
