This is just some really interesting speculation about whether life on Jupiter may exist or not, and how it would look like if it did. It probably doesn't, but Jupiter is fascinating, thus this is too.

If watching Gundam has taught me one thing, everything evil and hostile comes from Jupiter, including metaloid shape shifting life.

Umm but in all seriousness, I remember watching something on the Science Channel, where scientists were speculating they'd be like mushrooms that float above a certain layer of gasses and have a long proboscis to take in gases from the lower layers or something.

In my opinion, life couldn't survive at all on Jupiter due to how hostile the planet is. There's storms raging all through the Jupitorian year, and there's no surface on the planet.

Yeah, that's practically a synopsis of the article.

According to speculation the gas on jupiter makes up for almost 90% of it's size while its actual surface is no bigger than the earth.

The artists rendition of jovian life looks like something out of eureka seven.

Scientists have thought any life on Jupiter would be Balloon based plants that uses Jupiter's gases to stay afloat.
