...solid surface. Its outermost 600 miles consist of an atmosphere of hydrogen and helium gases laced with clouds composed of crystals of ammonia, ammonia hydrosulfide and water ice. The rest of the planet is mostly a seething cauldron of liquid hydrogen, except perhaps for a small, rocky, possibly iron-bearing core. Scientists suspect that Jupiter's extreme interior heat-about 54,000° F. at the core-may be left over from the planet's creation nearly 5 billion years...
During this process, the scientists found, mineral deposits such as iron, manganese and copper accumulate in the rift valley as lava-heated water circulates through cracks in the sea-floor rocks. But the depths at which these minerals are located would probably make them too costly to mine, at least for the moment...

Smith's constructions of forged and welded iron, like Wagon II, 1964, also force themselves on the out-of-doors by their density as metaphor...
