Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system, is a force to be reckoned with. With a mass twice that of all other planets in our system combined, it's no wonder that it has such a strong gravitational pull. Another fascinating aspect of Jupiter is its speed - it rotates faster than any other planet, completing a full turn in less than ten hours.
Jupiter's composition is also worth noting. Its low density implies that it's primarily composed of the lightest elements - hydrogen and helium. But perhaps most striking about Jupiter are its colorful latitudinal bands, atmospheric clouds, and relentless storms, which all illustrate the dynamic weather systems on the planet.
"The Great Red Spot," in particular, is one of the most well-known features of Jupiter, a complex storm system that moves counter-clockwise across the planet.
Jupiter is also home to at least 61 satellites and a series of thin rings, which, when viewed together, give it the appearance of a miniature solar system.
If you're lucky enough to catch a glimpse of Jupiter through a modern telescope, you'll be able to see its pearly color and pastel brown and blue bands. And if you want an even better look, be sure to download the awesome Jupiter screensaver.
