Jupiter, the large planet close to Mars. In fact it is the largest planet in our Solar System. Jupiter is classified as a gas giant (Jovian planet). It is primarily composed of hydrogen with some helium. There is a visible atmosphere and storms. Jupiter has been explored by spacecraft, the latest spacecraft (New Horizons) exploration was in late February 2007. In 1994 Shoemaker-Levy 9 collided with Jupiter. This Comet was in many pieces ranging in size up to 2 kilometres in diameter and collided with a speed of approximately 60 km/sec. Now with all this information do you think there could be life on this planet?
