The rings around Jupiter appear to resemble the shape of a crown. These crown - shaped rings are composed of ice and rock debris. This debris is collected from things such as when meteorites hit one of the moons of Saturn, which the gravity coming from the planet tends to pull debris towards it from all of its moons. Sometimes, as a comet travels near the planet, the rings will collect more debris.
Imagine you saw the rings form right there, all of the rings in the solar system are made up of dust, and ice. An example of this is Neptune, a moon that probably got sucked in by its gravitational pull. Most of the time, scientists can’t see the interplanetary dust that is forming to make the ring of the planet. A prime example is Saturn, (“How Saturn Got Its Rings”) which states that: “The researchers dubbed the lost moon Chrysalis because it blossomed into the rings.” The quote is saying that Saturn's lost moon was destroyed and turned into its own ring.
In the book “Orbiting Jupiter” by Gary D. Schmidt, there are many literary elements that are displayed throughout the book. The main character, Joseph, is a very quiet, and an independent character. He also keeps to himself and in extremely personal. Additionally, he does not show a lot emotions towards others, and he choices to keep his thoughts to himself. Through the book, there are many themes and universals truths that are displayed. The deeper the reader gets into the book, the more they find out about Joseph and why he acts like he does. The universal truth is to not judge a person based on there cover. Base people on what they are like on the inside, not the outside. Before the situation and complications that occurred with Madeleine, Joseph was a
Being a large planet, Uranus' mass is the equivalent of 15 Earths and has a radius of 51,118 Kilometers. Uranus also has 13 rings made up of a frozen waterline material and dust. The planet’s rings are darker than Saturn's rings and have larger rocks within them. They are about 38,000 Kilometers away from the planet's core. The rings are tilted as well.
This may mean there is active cloud formation in those regions, producing fresh white clouds. The clouds in the reddish brown "belts" are deeper, covered by thick smog-like haze. A gas giant is a giant planet composed mainly of hydrogen and helium. The atmosphere of Jupiter is 90 percent hydrogen. The remaining 10 percent is almost completely made up of helium, though there are small traces of other gases inside. The Great Red Spot is a giant, spinning storm in Jupiter's atmosphere. It is like a hurricane on

Did you know that Jupiter not only has 63 moons and the largest of these moons is bigger than Mercury? Or that the temperature on Jupiter can range from -234 to 43,000 degrees Fahrenheit? Jupiter is a complex and extraordinary planet with many interesting features. It is the fifth planet away from the sun, has a noticeable red spot and a strong magnetic field. This planet also happens to be one of the five planets in the solar system labeled a gas giant. Along with Pluto, Uranus, Neptune, and Saturn and is composed mostly of gases. Jupiter is specifically made up of hydrogen and helium. One of the largest in the solar system, is composed of many different layers, and turns on its axis quicker causing shorter days.
W.G. Sebald’s novel The Rings of Saturn explores the relationship between toleration and persecution through a first person narrative. The novel is preoccupied with loss and the ways we have tried to come to terms with mortality. It is a meditation on the destructive nature of history, the human lives affected, and the restorative power of art. However, his work is not simply a record of these human-induced catastrophes, but also attempts to fashion new representational tools for the purpose of acknowledging and coming to terms with the realities of modern human history. Sebald’s critcism tends to focus on the biographical and psychological backgrounds of the writers he mentions. He draws heavily on the canon of twentieth-century Marxist thought, including works from Theodor Adorno and Max Horkheimer. His complex thesis draws specifically on their work The Dialectic of Enlightenment. The Enlightenment was an intellectual movement that spread through Europe during the eighteenth century, which involved a radical change in the way that philosophers and others understood the role of reason. It valued independent thought and promoted reason to a higher status and for some came to replace faith. Intrinsic in Sebald’s work is the idea that the Enlightenment project was programmed by violent distrusts of the non-identical and a coercive desire to eliminate otherness. Specifically, Sebald draws on Horkheimer and Adorno’s critique of civilization articulated in The Dialectic of the
The term planet is originated from the ancient Greek word planetes which translates to wanderer. This is a fitting characterisation as the planets in our Solar System and others “wander” or orbit around central point - a star. A planet is a celestial body which moves in an elliptical orbit around a star. Our Solar System which is located in the outer arms of the spiral galaxy, the Milky Way, has a unique and diverse composition. The Solar System consists of our star, the Sun, eight planets, and the dwarf planet, Pluto. The diverseness of our solar system is constituted to the planets and their structure. The planets are classified as either terrestrial or Jovian planets, however, these classifications do not apply to Pluto as it is neither. terrestrial planets are the four planets located closest to the Sun. The root cause for Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars to be categorized as terrestrial planets, is that they are all similar in composition. Due to the rest of the planets being Earth-like, they gained their name from the Latin word terra meaning land or Earth. The Jovian planets: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are the four planets furthest from the Sun. The three most outer planets are categorized as Jovian planets due to their Jupiter-like composition. In contrast to the terrestrial planets, the Jovian planets differ greatly in general structure, size and density due to their elemental composition.
This Hercules Victor sculpture is made out of gilded bronze and was excavated from the Forum Boarium.1 This area is close to the Tiber in Rome with a circular and round inspired layout which is also home to many temples.2 The sculpture of Hercules Victor was located within this complex area and stood in front of the impressive Temple of Jupiter Optimus.3 To display the sculpture right there was not just to illustrate Hercules brute strength, but also hints to the significant meaning of the Forum Boarium to the people and Hercules in that period of time of Ancient Rome. In Roman stories Hercules was also known for his bravery who defeated twelve extremely difficult labors.4 While the Forum Boarium used to be seen as the old cattle market, to
Nevertheless, Tacitus also wrote after the time of Augustus at the end of the first century AD, however unlike other sources he conveys a very bias perspective on Augustus and his rule. This may be due to the change that Augustus made to the government, especially when the empire was left to be run by power hungry successors after Augustus’s death. This in hand would of left Tacitus blaming Augustus as he was the first roman emperor, leaving Tacitus to experience tyranny, corruption and decadence which may explain his bitter and ironic political analysis. This is also seen as his writings are filled with snide remarks (innuendo) of Augustus and essentially how he created corruption, governmental scandal and innocent people being destroyed because of his lust for power. Overall, these three sources are equally biased because they were all issued after Augustus’s reign yet still show a depiction of Augustus which is an opposing view to that found in other sources, as all three of the primary sources believed that an emperor
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.
On February 12th, 2015 I left America for the holy land. After we got on the plane I felt excited, I had not been to Israel in many years. I was thinking wow I’m about to have a great experience and make some great friends. After the long flight we arrived and the first thing I felt was the warm Israel breeze on my face. After waiting for one of the other kids to find their luggage which got lost we rode to Jerusalem. The views I saw outside the window were truly magnificent, from wild animals to construction workers to plants of crazy color. After finally getting to the Youth hostel we enjoyed dinner rice and potatoes. Then we walked to the kotel and took a late night tour of the Jewish, Armenian, and Muslim quarter. When I walked up to the wall I started
At the height of the Athenian Empire, 5th century BCE, one of the greatest temples of all time was erected, the Parthenon a temple dedicated to the cities patron goddess Athena Parthenos. Built on the hills of The Acropolis between 447-432 BC, The Parthenon was made to an all-encompassing formula creating perfect proportions and dimensions. This perfect temple celebrates the magnificent power of Athenians years earlier that had successfully defeated the Persians during the
In 1979, Voyager 1 discovered Jupiter’s ring system. Jupiter has three rings. Galileo spacecraft suggested that these rings are formed when meteoroids hit Jupiter’s tiny closest moons.
The knowledge of what the inner core is made up is still and will remain unknown until we can create a satellite that can make into the atmosphere of Jupiter and the other gas planets. Jupiter's atmosphere was also found to be quite turbulent. It is also know that Jupiter spins faster than any other planet. This indicates that Jupiter's winds are driven in large part by its internal heat rather than from solar input as on Earth. The vivid colors seen in Jupiter's clouds are probably the result of subtle chemical reactions of the trace elements in Jupiter's atmosphere, perhaps involving sulfur whose compounds take on a wide variety of colors, but the details are unknown. The colors correlate with the cloud's altitude: blue lowest, followed by browns and whites, with reds highest. Sometimes we see the lower layers through holes in the upper ones. Then we have the Great Red Spot that everyone can identify as Jupiter. This reddish color of the “Great Red Spot” is a puzzle to scientist, but several chemicals, including phosphorus, have been proposed as a reason. In fact, the color and mechanisms driving the appearance of the entire atmosphere are still not well understood. This spot has been seen by Earthly observers for more than 300 years. Robert Hooke discovered it in the 17th century. The GRS is an oval about 12,000 by 25,000 km, big enough to hold two Earths. Another interesting feature about Jupiter is that it
