Erupting Giant
Géante en éruption
Description
Scans of … have detected sporadic eruptions of combustible gases across the planet, presenting challenges for remote surveys.
A closer inspection will be needed.

Description
… has uncovered the source of the volatile eruptions on ….
The atmosphere of this gas giant has formed in such a way that a layer of liquid metallic hydrogen is suspended between the gaseous mesosphere and stratosphere. The denser composition of methane gas in the lower layer keeps the fluid aloft.
Over time, electrical discharges build up within the metallic hydrogen, agitating the sublayer. After a critical build up of pressure, gaseous eruptions spew out highly conductive liquid into the upper atmosphere, dissipating across the planet before resettling.
Our tracking systems can easily monitor these pressure fluctuations, allowing us to harvest these valuable resources.
