With average temperatures hovering around minus 145 celsius, Jupiter is known for being a frigid planet. But JAXA (Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency) scientists have discovered an unexpected 700 degrees Celsius “heat wave” that extends over 130,000 kilometres on the gas giant. The Earth’s diameter is approximately 12,742 kilometres. To put that into context, the upper […]
