Everything you ever wanted to know about the planet Jupiter

Feel free to add any knowledge you may personaly have about Jupiter

Last report was Jupiter's Great Red Spot was shrinking.

It's not only shrinking it also gets higher.

And Jupiters (and again my memory play tricks with me) Jupiter and some of its moons have the same we have here on earth. A things which makes it possible to watch polarlight

The satellite Juno's investing of Jupiter have shown disturbance of this electric magnetic thing.

One of the interesting things revealed by the probes Cassini and New Horizons was the very high radiation encountered around Jupiter and Saturn. Gravity and internal pressures was also considerably higher with an incredibly high gravitational field being generated.

Quote : The subsequent and far more technologically advanced Voyager spacecraft had to be redesigned to cope with the radiation levels. Over the eight years the Galileo spacecraft orbited the planet, the probe's radiation dose far exceeded its design specifications, and its systems failed on several occasions. The spacecraft's gyroscopes often exhibited increased errors, and electrical arcs sometimes occurred between its rotating and non-rotating parts, causing it to enter safe mode, which led to total loss of the data from the 16th, 18th and 33rd orbits. The radiation also caused phase shifts in Galileo's ultra-stable quartz oscillator.

The other interesting aspect is the moons like Europa have their own heat source caused by a slightly elliptical orbit around Jupiter which in turn creates varying pulls, resulting in friction.

I'll see if I can some of my old travel slides from my last vacation there...

I knew you were weird vienna you don't have to prove it

You know good and well that the rest of us came from Mars

Personally, I think this is a good thread. IMO, we pay wayyy too much attention to Uranus.

Beside history, Space/the Univers is something that can get me forget important things.

My eyes are glued to the tv-screen when there are program about the univers.

Jupiter is also a flat disc just like Earth.

Galileo discovered the four largest moons of Jupiter (Europa, Io, Callisto and Ganymede). He devised a method to determine one's longitude on Earth by timing the disappearance of these moons behind the planet.

Unfortunately, this was impossible to do on a moving ship and so was only really useful on land. But, apparently the method was used by Cassini and Jean Picard to produce a new map of France.

^ and ^^^^

At least the Europans have a new nearby sun
