Jupiter in fiction

Planets and Dwarf Planets

Jupiter has appeared in fiction for several centuries, with portrayals changing as knowledge of the planet's composition developed. It was first depicted as solid, then as having a high-pressure atmosphere above a solid surface, and later as entirely gaseous. Stories have depicted Jupiterian life in human and non-human forms. Its Galilean moons, Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto, are also frequent settings, often in stories about terraforming and colonization.
