You're listening to Bulletproof Radio with Dave Asprey.

Today's cool fact of the day is that Jupiter is big on surprises.

The Juno spacecraft that has been exploring our solar system's large-its planet is discovering

some very interesting things.

We now have a three-dimensional map of the planet's internal structure, and we can

look at its north and south poles.

In terms of each pole, there's a cyclone several thousand kilometers wide, and each

of those cyclones is encircled by this polygonal polygonal, I didn't even have to say that,

but I've read that lots of times.

Polygonal arrangement of similarly sized storms.

There are eight in the north and five in the south, so it's basically this perfect geometrical

layout that no one can explain.

And below its atmosphere, Jupiter is fluid, but the planet rotates like it's a solid

mass.

It's kind of like kids playing crack the whip with atoms of hydrogen and helium that are

linking arms and spinning around the planet, and no one understands why this is happening,

which is really cool.

So, if you might think why the heck is a cool fact of the day on Bulletproof Radio about

space, because we are exploring space, and it's awesome, and because if you haven't thought

about that, honestly, in your lifetime, unless you're like really old and not very healthy,

there's a pretty good chance that we're going to be putting people out there in our lifetime,

and that's awesome.
