[edit] Jupiter/Saturn

"This mechanism is evident on Jupiter." Not Jupiter but Saturn. Jupiter mostly consists of liquids, and liquids can hardly compress. -Hapsiainen 22:45, Oct 21, 2004 (UTC)

Many sources tell it is evident on Jupiter, too. Also, Jupiter consists of mostly the same elements as Saturn, most notably molecular Hydrogen (H2). It is a liquid just because of the pressure. see http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/planetary/factsheet/jupiterfact.html - Rgerhards 19:38, 10 May 2005 (UTC)
