Jupiter & Saturn: Tales of Giants

Jupiter and Saturn are each larger than every other planet in the solar system combined, both mostly made of thick layers of gas rather than the rocky surfaces of home. Join us on a tour of these planets, learning about their storms larger than Earth that last for centuries, magnetic fields so strong that they could break your computer within minutes, unexplained hexagons, mysterious “fuzzy cores”, rain made from the same element that makes up our balloons, the surprisingly recent and violent origin of Saturn’s rings, and how Jupiter could be responsible for life on Earth.
