Makes sense I guess.

What is video but a bunch of still images?
Do you remember cell phones used to send clear photos but video quality was crap?

How do they know this computer is accurate?
They test it with black and white photos on Earth on thousands of things they know the true color of.

Yeah but technology has progressed beyond that.
We can shoot 4K video on our tiny phones now.

I believe they have theories but no real good idea. Some think they may have small solid cores while others think they may have liquid or plasma cores.

If any human being finds any of this type of information uninteresting, that's a pretty good indication that you are an uninteresting person in general.

On Earth.
This is a little bit larger scale of distance traveled. There aren't data towers in space.
And this launched in 2011.

Yeah but those pictures of Jupiter are very clear and high resolution. It's not all grainy and crappy like there was a bunch of data loss.
I just don't get why they can take high quality images but can't shoot a video.

9/10 those pictures are a mosaic of 10's of 100's of high res photos taken.

Why can they not get far enough away to capture a photo of Jupiter in full?

We should launch something at it's core to see what happens.
I'm assuming nothing can get past the storms and gas clouds though. Aren't there assumptions that has metallic rain and stuff?

That's about the only way we'll ever find out what's down there. The problem though is that on top of storms of Hyper-Biblical proportions, Jupiter gives off enough radiation to fry any electronic instruments that spend too much time within its radiation ring. Basically, unless we can figure out a way to solve the radiation problem, anything we send into Jupiter will be toast long before it reaches the core.

Well, lets launch a something that doesn't require electronics to explode and monitor visually to see what happens when it reaches the surface of the gas. Like a nuclear sized explosion.
Let's frick some shite up

Correct, it's the same process they use to predict the color of dinosaurs.

You need to be nicknamed "The Launcher." Just launch something at something for Christ's sake!

Holy shite, that is awesome. I love space.
