A giant perturbation occurred amongst its clouds and two extremely bright storms erupted in the middle latitudes of the northern hemisphere, where its most intense jet stream - reaching speeds of 600 kilometers per hour - resides.

Wed, 23 Jan 2008 19:05:05 http://www.jupitertoday.com/news/viewsr.rss.html?pid=26537 Formate, a simple organic acid known to support chemotrophic hyperthermophiles, is found in hot springs of varying temperature and pH. However, it is not yet known how metabolic strategies that use formate could contribute to primary productivity in hydrothermal ecosystems.

The resulting energy and power requirements can provide quantitative constraints on habitability.
