Have you ever done something in the past that only impacted you n in the future? The book “Orbiting Jupiter” by Gary Schmidt delivers the shattering story of Joseph, a father at thirteen, who has never seen his daughter Jupiter. After spending time in a juvenile facility, he's placed with a foster family on a farm in rural Maine. This is due to Joseph attacking and almost killing a teacher. When he was interrogated, he claimed that he was drugged, and his mind flew somewhere else at the time and he wasn’t in control of his actions. Although this was confirmed, he was still sent to a juvenile facility due to safety concerns. When the facility released him, he was sent to a foster home because of the abuse he suffered from his dad. Not only did the foster family look after him, they taught him family values and played a huge role in Josephs recovery. Throughout the story, the characters in Orbiting Jupiter
It will look deep into Jupiter's atmosphere to measure composition, temperature, cloud motions and other properties. Juno will also map Jupiter's magnetic and gravity fields, revealing the planet's deep structure and also explore and study Jupiter's magnetosphere near the planet's poles, especially the auroras. Jupiter's northern and southern lights which providing new insights about how the planet's enormous magnetic force field affects its atmosphere. Juno will let us take a giant step forward in our understanding of how giant planets form and the role these titans played in putting together the rest of the solar system. Juno will help scientists understand how Jupiter was made. The spacecraft will help them learn how Jupiter has changed, too. The new discoveries can help us understand more about our solar
Keeping watch over all aspects of Roman women's lives, Juno also kept watch of the whole Roman nation. Juno is the goddess for the protection of women, but she is also known as being the goddess of childbirth and marriage. She is the best goddess since she protects women and their children from harm. She is also a good goddess since she focuses more on her job of protecting women and children instead of worrying about her own personal life. Juno is the wife of Jupiter, he is an equivalent to Zeus.
Zeus and Jupiter have many traits in common. An interesting fact about Greek and Roman Mythology is that many Roman Gods were inspired by Greek Gods and were just given a different name. This means that Jupiter is the equivalent to Zeus in Roman mythology. Both Gods are the King of the Gods for their type of mythology. Both are the rulers of the skies, thunder, law and order, and fate. Their duty was to protect the Earth and the people on it. They both also have brothers who are the rulers of the underworld. Their father’s deaths is what caused them to become King of the God’s. They both also share the same symbol which is the thunderbolt. The thunderbolt is also
Jupiter is so large that all the other planets in the solar system could fit
When scientists call Jupiter a gas giant, they are not overstating. If you parachuted into Jupiter hoping to hit the ground, you would never find firm landing. The gases pile on top of one another, creating layers that extend downward. Because there is no solid ground, the surface of Jupiter is described as the point where the atmospheric pressure is equal to that of Earth. At this point, the pull of gravity is almost two and a half times stronger than it is on our planet.
Juno is measuring the composition, gravity field, magnetic field, amount of water in the deep atmosphere, mass distribution and polar magnetosphere of Jupiter. Along with measuring parts of Jupiter, Juno is currently trying to find clues on how the planet was formed and whether or not it was a rocky core and studying Jupiter’s deep winds. The main goal is to find the story of Jupiter’s formation and evolution. Juno studies the bright auroras at Jupiter’s poles. Juno launched on August 5th, 2011 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station and is set to decay in February 2018. On August/September 2012, Juno use deep space maneuvers to get to try to get Jupiter. In October 2013, Earth assist Juno with a gravity assist. Using Earth’s gravity, it altered Juno’s path/speed so it could get to Jupiter. July 4th, 2016 was a joyous day for many people; for it was the day that Juno successfully arrived at Jupiter’s orbit. The current plan for Juno is for it to orbit Jupiter for 20 months, which is roughly 37 orbits and deorbit Jupiter on February
The red hot spot on Jupiter is a massive storm on Jupiter that is about twice the size of earth.
The Juno test will land at Jupiter on July 4, and turn on its thrusters keeping in mind the end goal to back off and go into space around the planet. Juno will make a sum of 37 circles around Jupiter (going into the restricted space between the cloud tops and the radiation belt that encompasses the planet), through the span of around 20 months. With its central goal complete, Juno will make a passing jump into Jupiter in February
Juno, the wife of Jupiter and the queen of the Roman gods. Juno’s importance to the story comes from the role she had played in the Trojan War, the war that had ended at the beginning of the story and the event that started Aeneas’s journey and the creation of Rome. The tale of the Aeneid portrays Juno as the main antagonist of the story and personifies her as female wrath given divine power. She constantly interferes with Aeneas’s journey to Italy and has tried multiple times to stop his quest through various means.
The spacecraft has many research objectives such as creating global maps of Jupiter’s gravity, magnetic fields and the composition of the atmosphere. Juno’s many orbits around the planet will allow for thorough investigation of many different corners of the world. It will be surviving in extremely hostile environments in terms of radiation so it will orbit below the radiation belts.
Jupiter is a gas planet with a possible chance of a core. On the outside of Jupiter, what we can see, is its atmosphere. Jupiter’s atmosphere is layered. It contains hydrogen, helium (a
Jupiter is the fifth planet from the Sun and by far the largest mass object in the solar system of all the other planets. Jupiter is twice the size of all the other planets combined. It is as 318 times the sizes of earth. The distance that Jupiter orbits the sun is 778,330,000 km (Gallant pp154). The diameter is 142,984 km and the mass that it has is 1.900e27 kg. Jupiter is the fourth brightest object in the sky after the Sun, the Moon and Venus. Mars is some times brighter. Galileo discovered Jupiter in 1610(Gallant); another interesting fact is that Jupiter has 4 large moons. Which are known as the Galilean moons. They were named Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto. The first mission that went to Jupiter was Pioneer 10 in 1973 and later
What if one day our world became too crowded or was at the verge of becoming like Venus, would there be another world we could escape to? Other planets and moons have been traveled to in order to answer this question. One place in particular that has been identified as a possible future home is Jupiter’s moon Europa. With future landing and explorations of Europe we may be able to determine the geophysical processes, ocean composition in order to determine its habitability. What it takes in order to confirm Europa as a candidate for a future home this case study shows what objectives and scientific rationale are needed for the mission. (R.T. Pappalardo, et al, 2013)
Europa is the sixth of Jupiter's moons and the fourth largest. Europa is named after a Phoenician princess who was abducted by Zeus and taken to the island of Crete to be his lover. Europa was discovered by Galileo Galilei and possibly Simon Marius in 1610 and is one of the four Galilean satellites. The others being: Io, Ganymede, and Callisto. Europa is very different from the other moons of Jupiter. Instead of a rocky, cratered surface like Callisto and Ganymede, it instead has a smooth outer surface of cracked ice. There are very few sign of craters on Europa. In fact, only three large craters have been found. This indicates that Europa's surface is very young and active. In photographs sent back by orbiters, the surface resembles sea ice on Earth. Astronomers believe that beneath this layer of ice may exist an ocean, kept liquid by the moon's internal heat. This liquid ocean could be as much as 30 miles deep. The existence of deep ocean vents on the ocean floor on Earth have led some scientists to speculate that there could be a possibility of life on Europa. Around these deep sea vents on Earth are life forms that do not need sunlight to survive. They instead feed on bacteria that get their nutrients from chemicals seeping up from the ocean floor. This process is known as chemosynthesis. Scientists believe that similar life forms could evolve on Europa if a liquid ocean does indeed exist beneath its frozen surface.
