Jupiter

Jupiter the biggest planet in our solar system! It is the 5th planet from the sun. It is the 4th brightest planet. Jupiter was first discovered by Pioneer 10. After Pioneer 11, Voyager 1, Voyager 2, and Ulysses visited Jupiter. Jupiter is mostly made up of gases. Jupiter has a combination of hydrogen and helium. With traces of water, Methane, Ammonia and rock. Jupiter has a similar composition to Saturn but Jupiter most likely has a core of rocky material. Jupiter has a mass 1.8986*10(27)…

There is Another Jupiter and We Have a Photo of It! In a solar system far away, there is a planet which is quite similar to Jupiter and some believe that they are something like siblings. Scientists have taken a photograph of a big planet which is supposed to reveal clues about Jupiter-y planets and their creation and planetary siblings. At a distance of 96 light years from Earth, the planet which is known as 51 Eribani b, was photographed by the Gemini Planet Imager, which, according to the…

The first moon, Io, is the closest to Jupiter of the Jovian moons, however, it is Jupiter’s fifth closest moon orbiting at roughly 262,000mi. Though it is slightly larger than our own moon, for Jupiter is it only the third largest. Ganymede, Io, and Europa are in orbital resonance with Jupiter, and this causes their orbits to become elliptical. Io’s orbit takes it through Jupiter’s magnetic lines of force causing it to generate electrical currents. These currents travel along Jupiter’s magnetic…

FUN ACTIVITIES IN JUPITER FL: KAYAKING One of the best things about kayaking is that it is a healthy and fun activity to share with the whole family. Not only is it a fun physical activity where everyone can consume excess energy, but it's also a wonderful way to connect with the natural world. In this day and age of nature deficit disorder due to excessive exposure to video games, computers and the internet, kayaking is a welcome outdoor activity with which all members of the family can connect…

happened to show that I was chosen from Illinois, for “mission Jupiter”. None of the astronauts wanted to go on mission Jupiter, and…

2016 Night Lab Report On July 15 our astronomy lab met on the roof of Kimpel Hall to observe several objects in our night’s sky. Using a 10-inch diameter telescope we were lucky enough to have a mostly clear sky to view in this order: Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and the Moon. Viewing these celestial bodies in person is truly one of the most exciting and core tenets of astronomy. With our telescope we were able to see firsthand and notice some of the distinct characteristics of the different…

Europa is on of the most recognizable moons in our solar system. This moon is the sixth (6th) closest to Jupiter and the fourth (4th) smallest of the Galilean moons ("Moons of Jupiter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia," n.d.). When this moon was discovered in 1610 by Galileo Galilei, he decided to name it after Europa, meaning or daughter of the King of Tyre. Over the last forty (40) years, there have been multiple spacecraft that have raised speculation that Europa has internal convection due…

The NASA website has archives of all missions ever performed by them. I chose some of the current missions such as Juno: mission to Jupiter, The International Space Station, And Curiosity mars rover. All Missions performed from NASA are costly, but all have very important reasons for those cost.The Juno spacecraft will for the first time peer below the dense cover of clouds to answer questions about the gas giant and the origins of our solar system. Juno's primary goal is to reveal the story of…

applications elsewhere and hence it was not clear how they would respond during the launch or how they would react in space. Some of the key aspects which had to be considered are the aspect that this probe had to be given a provision for a second launch in Jupiter and how it would interact with Jupiter’s gravitational pull. Modern systems are first simulated using computerized Software and their reactions studied when subjected to various dynamics. However, for the case of Voyager 1 during the…

Voyagers, their implications and some differences in the data as mentioned by the authors who have worked in this field already. The article are selected on the basis of the work mentioned relating to the data sent by voyager during its encounter with Jupiter and Saturn and also during its travel in heliosheath and termination shock. The review features the history and previous studies done on the implications of data sent by the Voyagers.…
