The Moons of Saturn Saturn has 62 known moons on verified orbits but only 53 have been officially named so far. Thirteen of these moons have diameters of more than 31 miles, thick rings and very complex orbital motions. Saturn’s moons range in size from small moonlets of less than a mile of diameter to big ones that are larger than planets like Mercury. 24 of these moons are classified as regular satellites as they have prograde orbits. The other 38 are small, except Phoebe, irregular satellites…

Astronomer Giovanni Cassini Astronomer Giovanni Cassini is the scientist I chose because he discovered the moons of my favorite planet. He is associated with many amazing astronomical discoveries, including the first observations of Saturn's moons. For this reason, the Cassini spacecraft was named after him. It was launched in 1997 and plunged into the planet in 2017. Born on June 8, 1625, in Perinaldo, Republic of Genoa (now Italy), he was given the name Giovanni Domenico by his parents, Jacopo…

The inner solar system planets Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars are fascinating because they orbit closest to the sun. In fact, a human could possibly stand on the four inner planets, unlike the four outer planets that are made of gas. Earth, Mercury, Venus, and Mars provide crucial information for researchers who need additional information about the four inner planets. I chose this topic because I thought it would be facilitating to learn about a different world, and how they are similar, yet…

Mars is the fourth planet from the sun in our Solar System. Mars got its name from the Roman God of War. Mars means Ares in Roman. Ares is the Roman god of war. Mars is actually much smaller than Earth. It is the 7th biggest planet in our Solar System. The mass of Mars is 6.4169 *1023. That is slightly more than 10% of the Earths mass. It’s radius is 2,106 miles (3,390 Km). The force of gravity at the surface of Mars is 3,711 meters per second. Mars is a terrestrial planet which means that the…

Zeus might be the more popular God, Jupiter, a Roman god, is still comparable to that of Zeus. Jupiter might not always be the talk of the show, but even Jupiter is confused with his connection to Zeus. Let us discover the differences between these two gods. Zeus and Jupiter are undoubtedly gods with different names. However, many say that they are both the same gods only of different origins and storytellers. Zeus is the great ruler of the Greek gods while Jupiter is the one who is sovereign to…

“Jupiter, Neptune, Pluto” by Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio was painted in 1597 ,with oils on a plaster canvas. The painting show three men, in a dark night sky around the moon. The main background of the painting is a night sky with clouds in the background and a large moon in the center of the painting. The foreground of the painting is three men in the sky. The man at the top of the painting is nude with a white robe around him. He is sitting on a bird with his face covered by his legs.…

Zeus and Jupiter are the king of the gods in Greek mythology and Roman mythology respectively; they protect mankind and help them when called upon. Although they are the king gods, they are also the god of the sky and thunder who uses lightning as their main weapon and used an eagle to retrieve the lightning bolt. Zeus and Jupiter are both married to their sisters Hera and Juno respectively and have many children from different women. Although the names of the gods in Greek mythology differ from…

promising but who knows. There have been recent budget cuts to the program because interest is being lost due to nothing being found. Because of these cuts I am the first person to take on a solo mission. I am in Earth’s orbit beginning the slingshot to Jupiter…

true etymology. Ekron was one of the principalities of the Philistines, and this idol was the god they worshipped, which signifies a master fly. The Heathens had deities they called Myiodes, Myagros, and which signifies a driver away of flies; as Jupiter and Hercules were called by the Eleans and Romans, and worshipped and sacrificed to buy them on that account; and so the Cyreneans, a people of Lybia, worshipped the god Achor, which seems to be a corruption of the word Ekron, because he freed…

I decided to write about the tumultuous relationship between Jupiter (Greek, Zeus) and Juno (Greek, Hera). Jupiter’s infidelity is legendary among the stories, with many of the greatest heroes being attributed as his offspring from one affair or another. This trait makes Jupiter look like just another lustful man, bounding after whatever fair lady wanders by that week. It is an incredibly human trait to see emulated in a god. One such example of his excesses was the story of Io. In chapter 3,…
