Who has been lucky and observed this? Bit cloudy where I am last night for even the naked eye stuff #conjunction #planets #SolarSytem ➡️➡️➡️➡️➡️➡️➡️➡️➡️ All planets in the solar system visible in night sky at same time on Wednesday

The density of water is 1000kg/m^3. Overall, #Saturn is less dense at 773kg/m^3. Therefore, it is often said that if you could put said #planet into a giant bathtub of #water, it would float. Sounds reasonable.
But for those of us who LOVE to overthink things, here's a fun article where they've done the overthinking for you! (#Spoiler: Saturn WON'T float).

WIREDNo. Saturn Wouldn't Float in WaterBy Rhett Allain

Despite being one of the most famous #landmarks in our #SolarSytem, we know relatively little about #Jupiter's Great Red Spot. Why is it Red?! No one knows! Is it red all the way through, or just on top? Is it the material makeup, or a trick of light scattering? How deep does the #storm go anyway? It's shrinking: is it fading away forever?
We need more #robots!

The Planetary SocietyThe shape of Jupiter’s Great Red Spot is changing. Here’s why.A new study says the winds within the famous Great Red Spot are speeding up in some places and slowing down in others.
