Using the Very Large Array [wikipedia.org] of radiotelescopes in the U.S. state of New Mexico, astronomers have mapped ammonia in the atmosphere of Jupiter. The images show structures in the atmosphere as much as 100 km beneath the tops of the clouds. At that depth, pressures are about 8 times that of the Earth's atmosphere at sea level.
