Moons of Jupiter

Saturn Saturn is the second most biggest planet in our Solar System. The planet was mostly named by the Roman and Greek gods. Apparently the name Jupiter as well as Saturn was named after a Greek and Roman gods. Saturn was the “father” of Jupiter in the gods. The arrangement of the planets from the Sun, in fact, go Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and the dwarf planets including Pluto. Saturn is the the 6th planet away from the sun. Because it is the second biggest…

than both Jupiter and Saturn combined. The reason for the blue color of Uranus is because of the methane. Methane in the atmosphere is the main reason to it being blue but there could also be many other facts not yet known to mankind. It is the seventh planet from the sun and the third planet in from the outside of our solar system. First and the most interesting to me, comes the moons of Uranus. Not up until voyager one and two passing Uranus did they find out that there were moons that…

Most asteroids are located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. This ring of asteroids contains hundreds of thousands of asteroids that range in size from being relatively small to being more than 60 miles in diameter. Asteroids are leftovers from the creation of our solar system more than 4.6 billion years ago. Back then, when Jupiter was created, it blocked any bodies from forming in the gap between Mars and Jupiter. This caused the objects there to collide and fragment into asteroids…

planet has them it poses many other interesting features. The Romans were the people who made Saturn's name come to be to what it is now. The Romans knew there was seven different bright objects that were in the sky. Those seven objects included the moon, the sun, and five planets in the solar system, Saturn being one of them. Therefore the Romans named each of those five planets after their most important Gods. The Roman God of agriculture was named Saturn…

To me, astronomy is the study of the universe and everything in it. This includes the planets, moons, stars, comets, etc. The major difference found between Muggle astronomy and Wizarding astronomy is that the Muggle world has "laws" that explain what they see in the universe. The study of these laws of the universe in the Muggle world is called "physics". Although these laws do explain a vast majority of what the Muggles see on Earth and in the universe, it may not hold true in the Wizarding…

thought about life beyond earth? Scientist from NASA have been researching and building many prototypes of rovers to test possible places that maybe one day we might colonize on it! One of these places that NASA has been researching is the moon Titan, NASA picked this moon to research(although they are researching more planets similar to earth) because, it has many signs that it could sustain life one day! Some theories about NASA and the thought and evidence of life beyond earth surprisingly…

own, better version. Sailors learned about it and wanted some telescopes because they saw other ships better with it (Biography.com, 2017). Galilei looked up to the sky using his telescope in 1610 and spotted four objects around Jupiter, which turned out to be Jupiter’s moons (History.com, 2018).…

Between 1300’s and 1700’s was the time of the Renaissance. During this time, astronomy blew up with discoveries. There were multiple advanced astronomers; two astronomers who made an enormous influence on the Copernican theory were Galileo Galilei and Johannes Kepler. Although the Copernican theory was established by Nicolaus Copernicus, it was Kepler and Galileo who greatly impacted it. Without the help of Galileo Galilei and Johannes Kepler, the Copernican theory would not have been proven and…

observations of Pluto’s moon Charon (Howell, Elizabeth). Although these accomplishments are worthy of a standing ovation, it was not a simple task for NASA. Since Pluto is about three billion miles from Earth, designers and engineers were…

planet in our solar system. Apart from the planet being closest to the sun, it is also the smallest planet in our solar system. Terrestrial planets differ from jovian planets as they are smaller Earth-like planets that consist of solid surfaces, few moons point, they have topological features such as peaks and valleys, and are most notably before the freezing point in the solar system. In Mercury’s case, the planet is the closest to the sun, giving it a very thin atmosphere which causes it to…
