Some Facts

The pressure at the center of Jupiter is estimated to be around 650 megapounds per square inch. ^[source]
Because it is not always practical to visit the core of planets to study the material in it, we can recreate very high pressure using a diamond anvil cell. Some of those devices can produce pressures up to 87 megapounds per square inch. ^[source]
