Non Gravitational Effects On Jupiter 's Satellites

Locked in 1:2:4 orbital cycle with Europa and Io. For every single orbit of Ganymede, Europa orbits Jupiter 2 times and Io orbits 4 times.

52.  According to Kepler's first law, the planets each move in an elliptical orbit with the sun

Galileo's Discovered Jupiter's and it’s moons on January 7th, 1610 Galileo pointed his home-built telescope towards Jupiter, and saw two tiny stars to the east of Jupiter, and one to the west, all in a tight straight line along the ecliptic ( great circle on the celestial sphere representing the sun's apparent path during the year ) path with Jupiter itself but he was not shure. The next evening, almost on a whim, Galileo decided to check Jupiter again just to verify that the three "fixed stars" lay to the east of Jupiter, since he knew that the planet was moving westward

In modern day society, it is important to view media through a critical lens to interpret the purpose of each piece. This interpretation skill is also necessary when viewing old pieces of text. William Shakespeare wrote The Taming of the Shrew at the end of the 16th century. Similar to his early comedies, it includes similar qualities including slapstick humor, deception and a happy ending for most of the characters. The play focuses on a concern of the Renaissance English society that some women were shrews, gossipy wives who resisted the assumed authority of a husband in a marriage.

Jupiter is the biggest planet in our solar system, it also the fifth planet that count from the Sun. There are many interesting facts about Jupiter’s atmosphere. Jupiter has the largest planetary atmosphere in the Solar system. The composition of the atmosphere is mainly molecular hydrogen and helium. Although water exists deep in the atmosphere layer, the concentration is comparatively very small. (Mahaffy et al., 1998) Until now, there have been no satellites sent on to the Jupiter. Only eight spacecraft sent to bring back information. The eight spacecraft were Pioneer 10, Pioneer 11, Voyager 1, Voyager 2, Galileo, Ulysses, Cassini, and New Horizons. (Tritonfun, 2008) Among these eight spacecraft, five of them are from NASA. For this mission, an artificial manufactured satellite that functions as an orbiter will be send to the orbit of the Jupiter to study its enormous atmosphere and the weather on the Jupiter.

Johannes Kepler was a German astronomer and mathematician who lived between 1671-1630. Kepler was a Copernican and initially believed that planets should follow perfectly circular orbits (“Johan Kepler” 1). During this time period, Ptolemy’s geocentric theory of the solar system was accepted. Ptolemy’s theory stated that Earth is at the center of the universe and stationary; closest to Earth is the Moon, and beyond it, expanding towards the outside, are Mercury, Venus, and the Sun in a straight line, followed by Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and the “fixed stars”. The Ptolemaic system explained the numerous observed motions of the planets as having small spherical orbits called epicycles (“Astronomy” 2). Kepler is best known for introducing three

In Plato’s “Allegory of the Cave”, for me it talks about how a person is being blind to know the truth because of the people who are higher than them. It says that the allegory is a cave of men chained with their heads forced to remained forward facing toward a wall; I can say that it talks about us, the people who become prisoners to know the truth. And the shadow that forms through the help of fire and wall are the false information or truth that we get from other people. In today’s generation, I think it’s still happening because we are still fed by lies and being forced to live a life accepting this false reality as truth.

Testing was done with current inclinations of the inner satellites of Neptune; however, assumptions were made due to the fact that the inclinations are very small. “The future dynamics of the Neptune-Triton system may originate a possible 3:1 mean motion resonance involving Triton and Proteus”(Yokoyama, Nascimento and

The moon Dione, was discovered in 1684 by Giovanni Cassini. It is the fourth largest moon to orbit the planet Saturn and has a diameter of 1123 kilometers. The density of Dione is 1.48 times as dense as water with a core made of rock and ice. Dione has a similar distance from Saturn as our moon has to Earth, 377,400 kilometers. Like our moon, one side of it always faces its parent planet. It takes 2.7 days for Dione to orbit Saturn. The surface of Dione is covered in craters, heavier in some places, with the largest being 62 miles wide. It is believed that a recent impact has turned or spun the moon 180 degrees because its heaviest cratered area is on the trailing side instead of its leading

Jupiter Research Jupiter is the fifth and largest planet in our solar system. This gas giant has a thick atmosphere, 17 moons, and a dark, barely-visible ring. Its most prominent features are bands across its latitudes and a great red spot, (which is a storm). Jupiter is composed mostly of gas.

Have you ever considered the falsehood of some of the information that you’ve been fed? Just think about it. It seems that every discovery is made by a “curious European scientist”. For example, Galileo Galilei is considered to have discovered Jupiter’s four moons in 1610, and the moons have even been named “Galilean Moons”, but Africans, the Dogon people to be exact, actually discovered Jupiter’s four moons over 60,000 years ago. This is just one of many example of many of African discoveries that they were not credited for along with further findings in astronomy, weapons, metallurgy, and tools, and mathematics.

Jupiter’s moons have many different terrains which include craters on some but not on others. There are no impact craters on Io because of the active volcanoes and the lava smooths out the surface where the impact craters hit (p.241). Europa doesn't have impact craters because of the plate tectonic motion that shifts the surface with the icy terrain (p.243). Ganymede’s history was thought to have tectonics like Europa but it doesn’t seem to happen anymore because it is frozen solid (p.243). Callisto has been shown to never have tectonic activity never began there. (p.245)

The objective of this practical is to determine acceleration due to gravity ‘g’ using the simple pendulum model. This is shown when a period of oscillation is seen to be independent of the mass of the mass ‘m’.

Jupiter is a VERY important planet. Not only does is it the biggest planet in our solar system, but it keeps thousands of minor planets in their orbits. There is a family of minor planets (or asteroids) in the same plane as Jupiter. These are called Trojan asteroids. Scientists have divided these into two groups the “Greeks” and the “Trojans”. The “Greeks” come before Jupiter and the “Trojans” follow Jupiter. These asteroids are as far away from Jupiter as they are from the sun; because of this they stay and will continue to stay in the positions they are in because the gravitational pull from Jupiter and the sun are the same.

On the July 4th, the first day of a spacecraft as similar as known as Juno, entered orbit of Jupiter. This planet is named after the wife of the Greek’s god, NASA took almost five years to approach to the largest planet in our solar system. We can understand the fundamentally how Jupiter formed and that is mission of Juno. Astronomers believe Jupiter was the first planet to improve around our Sun, and they provide necessary information about our solar system has changed over time. During the research, Juno will orbit Jupiter 32 times, and it will be spinning around its poles for the rest of the years. We rather understand what is inside the planet based on all information which captured by Juno.
