Eleven times wider than Earth. Over 300 times more massive. And a million times more terrifying. Jupiter looks like a beautiful ball of swirling clouds, but on the inside, it's a gaseous hell. But what if things took a different turn for the king of the Solar System? What if Jupiter wasn't a gas giant at all? What if, instead, it was a rock giant?
