Jupiter's primary ingredients are hydrogen and helium.
Interesting development: In 1995, NASA's Galileo spacecraft dropped a probe into Jupiter's atmosphere. An onboard "mass spectrometer" measured the quantities of various gases. Not until recently have scientists studied the surprising results showing much higher concentrations of the three noble gases, argon, krypton and xenon in Jupiter's atmosphere. They are as abundant in the jovian atmosphere as are carbon and sulfur. This is making scientists altogether re-think the processes in how our Solar System was formed.
Thought you might like that tid-bit.
Have fun!

Apparently its gasses and clouds all the way down.
I imagine Darth Vader shooting that death Star thing at it and having it go right through...
