Take a look at some of them and it may offer you more of a clue as to what I'm saying.Ok, so thinking of how a projector in a planetarium works, that is exactly what I was doing. Older ones had slides that showed fixed images of the heavens. These were put in front of a source of light, shone through a lens and that lens adjusted until it achieved focus on a screen - in this case a curved planetarium roof.
Modern planetariums are more advanced and display moving images. This works like any other video projector. You have a light source, a LCD screen and then a lens. The image is changed on the LCD screen and focused on the planetarium dome roof.
So what you are suggesting here is that somewhere in the core of the earth there is a tiny image of Jupiter with it's swirling storms, transiting moons etc that is constantly changing. This must be clear for the light to shine through and project, so this is held suspended in some sort of glass cell and some force within drives the ever changing surface we see. There are similar ones for the other planets. Light shines from the inner earth core through these, through a crystal lens and because the dome is not a perfect hemisphere, this lens constantly adjusts it's shape as well as the direction it is facing to absolutely make sure that Jupiter is always in focus. We don't have a time of the day or year where known as blurred Jupiter time where this focus mechanism fails, it just moves around independently projecting on the dome, supporting this image in it's glass cell and adjusting focus perfectly as it goes.
If that is wrong, can you explain exactly how this could possibly work?
