contents On gas giant planets the speed of sound is isotropic and goes to zero at the surface. Geometrically, this corresponds to a Riemannian manifold whose metric tensor has a conformal blow-up near the boundary. The blow-up is tamer than in asymptotically hyperbolic geometry: the boundary is at a finite distance. We study the differential geometry of such manifolds, especially the asymptotic behavior of geodesics near the boundary. We relate the geometry to the propagation of singularities of a hydrodynamic PDE and we give the basic properties of the Laplace--Beltrami operator. We solve two inverse problems, showing that the interior structure of a gas giant is uniquely determined by different types of boundary data.
