        @neiltyson he's just saying that the planets overall density would allow it to be buoyant in water...

        @neiltyson Please help: when you do interviews, ask the interviewer to spread the word: "decimate" doesn't mean what they use it for.

        @neiltyson Jupiter would not float? Is that because its gas is highly compressed and therefore a dense liquid? But not so with Saturn?
