For some reason the gas giants scare me, despite their magnificence (or because of it?). Too much mystery I guess 😲

Arthur Clarke has written a number of stories about Jupiter, but they didn't help me much. A short one, A Meeting with Medusa, is about a ship descending to Jupiter and floating in its atmosphere. One can guess the rest from the title 😬

@65dBnoise I know what you mean. They scare me too bur can’t stop staring at their swirling clouds

Anyway I believe the gigantic jellyfish would be the least of the problem when descending into Jupiter haha

Infact should we call them Fluid Hells?
