Miley Cyrus' tattoo of 'Jupiter' looks suspiciously like Saturn
Despite what Miley Cyrus may believe, she doesn't appear to have drops of Jupiter on her skin.
On Wednesday, Cyrus Instagrammed a photo of her new tattoo, adding the hashtag #lilbbjupiter. There's just one problem -- while the image is definitely of a planet, that planet is almost certainly Saturn. Unless Miley knows something about Jupiter that the rest of us don't.

"Saturn's rings are really prominent and beautiful, but Jupiter's are more like dusty disks that weren't actually seen until 1979."
Here's what Saturn looks like:

So if the tattoo features an attempted rendering of Jupiter's rings, it's poorly done. In either case, Miley's in her own universe.
