It rains diamonds on Jupiter.

 

Carbon from the lower layers of the planet are sucked upwards by Jupiter's ridiculously powerful storms, and as it falls again, the atmospheric pressure and overwhelming gravity of Jupiter compress the Carbon into diamonds. For comparison, such conditions are found her on earth only at some of the deepest, hottest levels of our planet's crust.

 

Another fact about Jupiter is that it's largest storm - the Great Red Spot - is a hurricane that could cover 3 earths.

 

It's been raging since Galeleio Galelei discovered it, over 200 years ago.

 

Also, Jupiter's moon Io is so volcanically active that it's turned itself inside-out completely 4 times in it's existence.

 

Man, I love space.
