The orbiter will be orbit Jupiter for 20 months, which is 37 orbits
Juno will deorbit Jupiter in February 2018
Once Juno has completed its mission it will crash into Jupiter’s atmosphere and burn up
Juno was named after Roman goddess, wife of Jupiter because she was known to be able to see through clouds and that is exactly what Juno is doing.
Juno has 9 instruments that it uses to prove Jupiter and power it.
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
Questions like how life exists beyond our solar system or under Jupiter’s icy crust have been theorized as the discoveries of Jupiter continue. According to the article, water vapor has observed on one of Jupiter’s moon, Europa. A probe called “Juice” will be launched in 2022 to study Jupiter and its moons, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. The mission would also determine if there are oceans on Jupiter, including how deep they are. However, there are some challenges Juice will have to face such as the ability to generate enough energy, the materials it is made out of that would have to withstand the forces of deceleration, and to shield itself from the intense magnetic field around Jupiter. Therefore, when Juice is completely built and launched,
The mystery behind the naming of the planet Jupiter is quite simple: ancient Romans observed that Jupiter was the biggest planet and therefore was named after their god, Jupiter because he is the king of all gods. Jupiter is also the god of lightning, storms, and the sky. On the massive planet of Jupiter, there is a gigantic hurricane storm that has lasted for at least 300 years. Also called the Great Red Spot, it appears red because of certain chemicals like sulfur and phosphorous in anomia crystals contained in Jupiter’s clouds. At the largest recorded
With my ticket in hand along with my bags, I'm ready to board the space
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.
The thought process of Juno through the repetition of the consequences dealing with the loss of honor and praise demonstrates that she highly valued the honor and the adoration the people had towards her as a goddess and this is why Aeneas is
In Roman mythology Juno was protectress of women and of marriage, a small, but important feature which foreshadows the course of
As a result of being the largest and fourth most visible object in the solar system, Jupiter’s existence is beneficial to not only the archaeoastronomy field, but also to various cultures around the world. This planet is upwards of five times the distance between the Earth to the Sun with an approximate orbital distance of 7.78 x 10^8 kilometers (The Planets). This means that it takes a whopping 43 minutes for sunlight to reach the moon, while, in contrast, it takes roughly 8 minutes for sunlight to reach Earth (The Planets). With a perihelion of 7.41 x 10^8 km and an aphelion of 8.16 x 10^8 kilometers, Jupiter’s orbital eccentricity is .04838, which is the fourth largest among the planets (The Planets). Interestingly enough, Jupiter does not experience seasons as a result of its
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
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
Jupiter is so large that all the other planets in the solar system could fit
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.
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
