Jupiter

there are layers of cold hydrogen and sulfur ice mixtures. On Saturn’s North Pole there is a mysterious hexagonal-shaped area with a ‘jet-stream” (see figure 3). Then on the south pole there seems to be a hurricane-like storm. This is similar to Jupiter in the fact that they both have oval-shaped storms. Saturn doesn’t only have its famous rings around it, it also has approximately 62 moons. There are 53 known moons and 9 still waiting to be confirmed. Some of the common moons are Titan,…

Basin, Borealis Basin, Valles Marineris. For long, it was thought there was water on Mars because we could see what looked like canals. Mars has two moons, Phobos and Deimos, which are irregular (not spherical) Jupiter 5th planet from the Sun Named after the Roman God of Thunder Jupiter is the biggest planet of the Solar Sytem, and makes up 90% of the mass of it (Sun excluded) It is a Gas Giant It is the fourth brightest item in the sky (after Venus) Its atmosphere is composed mainly of…

Earth’s, which makes it difficult to hold liquid water on Mar’s surface. Furthermore, Jupiter has 66 moons, which are pretty small. Of the 66 moons there are four large moons, known as the Galilean moons. Which scientists are intrigued by because they may have environments that can support life. Lo, Ganymede, and Europa are all in a resonant orbit with one another. For every one orbit that Ganymede makes around Jupiter, Lo makes four, and Europa makes two. As a result of this kind of orbit it…

One painting that really caught my eye is the painting Jupiter and Thetis by Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres (Getlein, 2016). This painting was inspired from Homer’s Iliad, “The Greek epic of the Trojan War (Getlein, 2016).” Without knowing what it really means you can tell more or less what is happening based off of the artists creativity. From first sight, you can see A man sitting in a throne which depicts royalty. There are two women looking at the man in an almost lustful perspective. There…

times less reflective than our own moon, which has an albedo of 0.12. WASP-12b orbits a sun like star named WASP-12A, which is about 1400 light years away. The Exoplanet's radius is almost twice the size of Jupiter and has a year of over just one earth day. WASP-12b is categorized as a hot Jupiter. Because it is so close to its parent star, WASP-12b has been stretched into an egg shape and its surface temperature is 2600 degrees Celsius. Astronomers think the planet's low albedo is caused by the…

At this very moment, NASA’S Dawn Spacecraft is closing in on the dwarf planet Ceres, which meeks out its lonely existence out in the Asteroid Belt between Mars and Jupiter, that ring slowly spinning beyond the inner planets’ orbits, separating us from the gas giants, the oort cloud, and that vast emptiness beyond. However, Dawn’s approach of Ceres has already been so Chock Full of odd surprises that astronomers are unsure what to make of the dwarf planet. For starters, NASA aired a video last…

Three people with three ideas, and a whole bunch of time between them. Beginning with Ptolemy and his claim that the earth was must be the center of the solar system based on basic evidence that the stars in the sky seemed to rotate around the earth. Including the sun that rose in the east and set in the west every day. Theis model of the solar system was widely accepted as fact for over 2,000 years and was later named the geocentric model. Two scientists that came later on changed the world's…

Nuclear Sciences, pays tribute to legendary Italian astronomer with the exhibition "The Galilean Month" in the Universum Science Museum. Lectures by scientists and historians, videos, pictures, plays, spaceyards, counting travel NASA Saturn and Jupiter, via live links with people working in that space institution and 3D displays with reference the life and work of Galileo, as well as some of the great puzzles of astronomy…

There is several different theories of how the sun and the planets orbit in the universe. The geocentric models such as the Greek Geocentric model portrays the earth in the center of the universe. The heliocentric models such as the Tycho Heliocentric Model displays the sun being more the center of the universe. Greek Geocentric Model In many ancient civilizations such as the Ancient Greeks, the geocentric model was the predominant theory. An observation of this particular model was the stars,…

work in balance. Mars may also reveal the kind of person you attract, in other ways than Venus- but more than that, it reveals how we can take what starts as inspiration and turn it into how we act on that. Jupiter In a nutshell- which is difficult for expansive Jupiter, by the way: Jupiter is about how you grow. The financial benefits or detriments you may face, generosity, kindnesses and other things of that nature are all covered here. It also represents certain aspects of law, philosophy,…
