Jupiter

found in Shakespeare’s play Cymbeline, in a scene where the main character is imagining his deceased family members revolving around the Greek god Jupiter. This scene brings to mind the discovery of four of the planet Jupiter’s moons by Galileo in 1610, as the four dead family members symbolize the moons and the god Jupiter stands in for the planet Jupiter. Galileo’s discovery of the the moons is considered to be important in the field of astronomy as it was one of the “first major discoveries…

near Jupiter. Doing some research on SL9, they discovered it has been orbiting the sun for billions of years. On July 7,1992, the coment made contact with Jupiter’s tides and tore it apart. The astronomers were astonished with the calculations into the comet’s future to find out that it will physically strike Jupiter in 1994. “The chunks…

Sleepless nights spent ruminating and regurgitating past events all the while ruing their aftermath often drained Surina the next morning; nonetheless, on the first full day in space, she awoke restored. Certainly, her restful sleep was not entirely due to the profound physical exhaustion from the lift off to space. Rather, after her consciousness roamed amongst the stars, she gained a fresh perspective that allowed her to rest from the burden of her sorrows for the first time in many years.…

The Inner Jovian Moons For the moon project I recieved the Inner Jovian moons. The Inner Jovian Moons are four different moons of Jupiter. The names of these moons are Adrastea, Metis, Amalthea, and Thebe. Each of these moons get their names from Greek Mythology. They Were all discovered by different people. As it goes for research I found that all of these moons have very little to be known about them. They do not know the rotational period of any of these moons. A lot of the pictures at are…

metals, rock, and hydrogen compounds. Jupiter, on the other hand is made almost entirely of hydrogen and helium 4. Because of its large size, Jupiter loses heat very slowly. The planet is still slowly contracting. Contraction converts gravitational energy into thermal energy. Neptune also uses contraction as a way of generating internal heat. Saturn, on the other hand, has liquid helium raining into its interior and it has a less extreme core temperature than Jupiter. 6. Different types of…

Pluto We know Pluto as the dwarf planet that had its planetary status revoked. We know it as the distant 9th planet in our solar system. We know it as the planet billions of miles away from the sun. Even though all of these facts about pluto might be right, we do not know so much about this glorious planet. Pluto is a dwarf planet that was discovered at the beginning of the twentieth century. Over the years, there has been much debate over whether or not we should qualify Pluto as a planet,…

location of its primary mission. Voyager 1 had a primary mission of exploring the inner Jovian planets Jupiter and Saturn, while…

various disparate and independent episodes based on the themes. The most remarkable character based on the term of transformation is the king of Gods, Jupiter (Jove). He has sexual relationships with numerous women despite the…

Jupiter is the fifth planet out from the sun, and is the largest planet in our solar system. In addition, the planet is primarily made of gases, therefore it considered a “gas giant”. The 142,984 km planet’s atmosphere is made mostly of hydrogen and helium gas. Therefore, there is no solid ground on Jupiter, so the surface is considered the point where the atmospheric pressure is equal to that of Earth. The effective temperature, or “the temperature of an object calculated from the radiation it…

Astronomy in Yosemite The Sun The sun is a star located at the center of the universe, and without it, there would be no life on Earth. It is the most important source of energy for humans as it provides us light, heat, and more. It can reach surface temperatures of about 5,276 degrees Celsius, and 10,340 degrees Fahrenheit. The composition of the Sun changes slowly as hydrogen is converted into helium in its core; however, it is currently made up of around 70% hydrogen, 28% helium, and less…
