You got me. I was wondering what those rips in Jupiter were, until my mind processed that they were ducks.

There are no ducks on Jupiter.

Only 5% of people see animals on this picture. Are they golden or blue?

If this was real how big would those ducks be?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 10 months ago

They'd be astronomical.

Jupiter mean radius: 69,911 km (10.973 Earths)

So these ducks would be roughly Earth-sized.
