Jupiter is the 5th planet from the sun and is an absolute monster! Classified as a gas giant, it is comprised mostly of hydrogen. Galileo famously studied this planet and observed the motion of the moons to confirm that we were decidedly NOT the center of the universe. The stripes that you see in the picture are storm clouds.
