Moons of Jupiter

in the winter. Any liquid water would evaporate quickly due to the thin atmosphere although there are the polar ice caps made of water. Notably, Mars is home to the Olympus Mons, an extinct volcano, three times the height of Mount Everest. Two moons orbit Mars called Phobos and Deimos. We thought of Mars as the most habitable planet for humans until the discovery of…

distant arcs. They are named Fraternite, Egalite 1 and 2, Liberte, and Courage. It is believed that the stability of the 5 rings come from the interaction Adams has with its inner moon Galatea. As I have stated before, Neptune was originally discovered by Galileo. He actually thought the planet was a star next to Jupiter because of the cloudy skies which he looked upon that day. He found the planet by using the Refracting Telescope, which he invented. Then he drew a sketch of what he…

wrote is that, “He is perhaps most known for his discovery of the four most massive moons of Jupiter: Io, Ganymede, Europa and Callisto(Nola Taylor Redd).” What the Writer is saying is that the four biggest moons of Jupiter were discovered by Galileo. Now the moons are called Galilean moons after the person who discovered them. Also from the same writer Nola Taylor Redd, “He was the first to see craters on the moon, discover sunspots and track the phases of venus. The rings of saturn puzzled…

The Journey Through Saturn Welcome to the journey through Saturn. today you will be learning about saturn's rings and more! Did you no that Saturn's rings are filled with 60 discovered moons, wow! Saturn is also a gas giant along with Jupiter. Saturn is also the second biggest planet behind Jupiter there for saturn is huge. Also, being one the only planets with rings. The ringed planets surface temp can get up to 178 Degrees fahrenheit. Saturn's history did you no that the first person to…

Jupiter is the largest planet, it’s volume is so large that it’s able to fit more than 1,000 earths.Because of Jupiter's large mass, it has 67 moons. All of its moons are denser than Jupiter because they are rocky like the terrestrial planets. Saturn is the second largest planet in the solar system, both in mass and density. Like most of the gas giants, Saturn is made of hydrogen and helium. Saturn has 62 moons, it has one of the largest moons in the solar system, Titan…

including the Tharsis Bulge, Hellas 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…

It was found to be incredibly windy with wind speeds reaching 2,000 kilometers per hour, the fastest ever seen on any planet. Triton, Neptune’s largest moon, was found to have the most diverse landscape in the solar system. Ices of nitrogen, methane, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and water make up the atmosphere and temperatures reach down to just thirty-eight degrees Kelvin above absolute zero. This…

Origins The Voyager program began in the 1965 with Gary Flandro’s discovery of a rare planetary alignment of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune that would occur in 1977. This alignment occurs only once every 175 years. The Grand Tour as the program was called had launch windows between 1976 and 1980. The original idea of the Grand Tour was to send four probes to ultimately visit every planet in our outer solar system. In 1971 funding for the Grand Tour program was canceled in the 1973 NASA…

one could ever really know for sure. However, Saturn is not the only planet with a ring system, there are a few others but nothing as extravagant as what Saturn has. There are many aspects that make Saturn the unique planet it is such as its rings, moons, composition, and many other things. It has been looked at by astronomers and scientists since 700 BC and is still trying to be figured out today. In this paper, we…

Facts About Saturn's Largest Moon This view shows a close up of toward the south polar region of Saturn's largest moon, Titan, and show a depression within the moon's orange and blue haze layers near the south pole. NASA’s Cassini spacecraft snapped the image on Sept. 11, 2011 and it was released on Dec. 22. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/Space Science Institute Titan is Saturn's largest moon and the second largest in the solar system (after Ganymede of Jupiter). It is the only moon in the solar…
