A Traveler's Guide to the Planets Episode 3 - Jupiter

Today on Far Future Horizons we present the third episode of the acclaimed documentary series “A Traveler’s Guide to the Planets.  In this episode we will tour the gas giant Jupiter and its system of moons.

Welcome to Jupiter, a world so roomy that it could swallow every planet and moon in the solar system and still have room for more. Encircled by some 63 moons, Jupiter is like a miniature solar system all of its own.

A dive below the clouds reveals the planet's strange secret: It's really more like a star in composition. See what today's bigger and better telescopes are revealing about the moons in Jupiter's extraordinary kingdom, from Io, a spicy world of fire and brimstone, to Europa, where a warm, salty ocean hides beneath the surface.
