    Didn’t they say they thought it was around 1000 f or was that just near the spot?

    Just to be safe, I would say melted corpses with a wind blown, slightly tussled look to them.

    I read recently that some scientists believe “we earthlings might have the giant planet (Jupiter) to thank for our very existence.” Google The Grand Tack Scenario for more information. So instead of saying thank God, maybe we should be saying “thank Jupiter!” ;)

    Actually, it depends on where “on Jupiter.”

    From wiki – "The temperature in the clouds of Jupiter is about minus 145 degrees Celsius (minus 234 degrees Fahrenheit). The temperature near the planet’s center is much, much hotter. The core temperature may be about 24,000 degrees Celsius (43,000 degrees Fahrenheit). That’s hotter than the surface of the sun!

    Wouldn’t they be toasty corpses? Jupiter is rather hot.

    A few years ago when NASA sent a probe into Jupiter, I noticed that the point at which the pressure got to about 1 earth atmosphere was where it was about room temperature. Too bad the atmosphere there is completely toxic. And being mostly hydrogen/helium might make it challenging to get something to float.

    Jupiter’s almost entirely gas, so I don’ think Verne’s diameter thing’s very accurate.
