One Thousand Earths Could Fit Inside Jupiter

This animation illustrates that it would take about 1000 Earths to fill a volume the size of Jupiter.

This visualization was created in support of the Science on a Sphere film called "Largest" which is about Jupiter. The visualziation was choreographed to fit into "Largest" as a layer that is intended to be composited with other layers. In this case, mulitple layers are provided to make the it appear as if a sphere were filling up with Earths. These frames are in cylindrical equidistant projection and are intended to be viewed wrapped to a sphere. A sample composite of the layers is provided to show how the shot might be composed from the source layers.
