Moons of Jupiter

For my science reader project I read the first one hundred pages of the book, Why Nothing Can Travel Faster than Light and Other Explorations in Nature’s Curiosity Shop. In the first one hundred pages I read twelve short essays that addressed topics ranging from measuring the vastness of our universe to global warming In the first story I read, Sky Wanderers, the authors taught me about a beneficial acronym (My Very Eager Mother Just Served Us Pies) to remember the names of the planets in order…

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…

finds the moon is physically similar to Earth, the existence of thousands of stars that are invisible to the naked eye, and Jupiter’s four moons. He proves that the moon’s surface is similar to Earth’s terrain through his sketches of his observations. Galilei’s illustrations display the moon’s shaded ridges and spots to show how the moon’s surface is three dimensional and that it has a terrain similar to Earth’s mountains and valleys. He refers to a round cavity in the middle of the moon and…

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…

Its proximity with Earth means that it lies shut enough to the “habitable zone” of the system. The temperature is on the average nearer to Earth’s; particularly compared to Venus, Europa (a moon of Jupiter), and Titan (a moon of Saturn). These bodies either have too thick of an environment and square measure too hot (Venus), a force field and atmosphere however too far-off and cold (Europa), or is simply too far-off and cold, and no force field (Titan). Mars…

modern tool used everyday by everybody. Earth’s moon is unique in matter and how it became apart of our planet's orbit. Moons are captured by their planets by their rings and pull of the orbit of the planet. Jupiter has 60 captured moons all with different molecular material than the other. Earth's moon was discovered to have matched a sample of earth's soil indicating the making of the moon involved earth rather than a capturing of this mass as jupiter…

Chuqiao Sun 1335349 Sunc8@uw.edu Writing Project Space craft finally approaching Jupiter. With NEXT, which is NASA’s new propulsion system using xenon propellant with blistering speed of up to 90,000 miles per hour, the crew traveled to Europa in about 200 days. NEXT provide same amount of energy with 860 kg of xenon propellant compare to 10,000 kg propellant in old technology and have five and a half years life time. To save food, water, energy, and space for long distance space travel, all…

mostly made out of water ice, and dark features in the rings that circle the planet at different rates from that of the surrounding material. Saturn has 63 discovered moons and 7 groups of rings, the exact number of rings is not known. Saturn’s largest moon is named Titan after the fact that Saturnus was a Titan, all of Saturn’s moons are named after Titan’s or something related to the fact. Saturn had the lowest density of all planets, and is the only one less dense than water. If there were a…

Galileo Galilei The Founder of The Moons Galileo Galilei was a very interesting scientist, who made extraordinary discoveries. With telescopes, Galileo made discoveries of the planets, stars, and moons. What was his life like when he was a child, what education did he have, what were his discoveries and what is he most famous for? How many years did it take him to find his discoveries? Galileo’s life when he was young was lovely. In his family he had a brother named…

He also thought that beyond the sun was Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn, which orbit Earth from a huge distance. He also believed that beyond Saturn was another sphere that had all the stars and spheres orbiting around it. Lastly, the article states, “Muslims Arabs conquered Egypt in 641 CE. Muslims scholars…
