Why would I want to visit Jupiter?

The largest planet in our solar system – large enough that 1,300 Earths could fit inside of it – rules over a system of its own. Several of Jupiter’s nearly 70 moons are worthy of your attention. Mega-moon Ganymede is larger than Mercury and has its own magnetic field. Volcanoes on lo, the most volcanic body in the solar system, spew clouds of yellow sulfur nearly 200 miles (322 km) high.

Distance from the sun: 460,237,112 to 507,040,015 miles (740,679,835 to 816,001,807 km)

Length of space journey from Earth: 13 months.
