	Jovian Chronicles - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The enormous space stations of the Jovian Confederacy were the first to develop and field exo-armors.
		Thanks to the ressources of the Jovian sub-system, the Confederacy is the richest nation in the solar system.
		Jovian Chronicles is currently based on the Silhouette game engine, a streamlined set of rules that is already described in Heavy Gear, Dream Pod 9's other successful science fiction game.

	Galileo spacecraft - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		On September 21, 2003, after 14 years in space and 8 years of service in the Jovian system, Galileo's mission was terminated by sending the orbiter into Jupiter's atmosphere at a speed of nearly 50 kilometres per second to avoid any chance of it contaminating local moons with bacteria from Earth.
		The fuel for the system was 925 kg of monomethyl hydrazine and nitrogen tetroxide.
		The despun section's instruments included the camera system; the near infrared mapping spectrometer to make multi-spectral images for atmospheric and moon surface chemical analysis; ultraviolet spectrometer to study gases; and photo-polarimeter radiometer to measure radiant and reflected energy.

	Introduction to the Solar System
		Neptune seems to be the planet that defines the edge of the Solar System for the clouds of comets (Kuiper Belt and the inner Oort cloud) that surround the Solar System.
		The largest components of the solar system are the comets, whose tails sometimes reach between the orbits of planets.
		The smallest bodies in the Solar System are the meteoriods, floating along between planets until they crash into the atmosphere of a planet, leaving a short, bright trail, a meteor.

	Jupiter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jupiter is perpetually covered with a layer of clouds, composed of ammonia crystals and possibly ammonium hydrosulphide, and it may not have any solid surface in that the density may simply increase gradually as you move towards the core.
		The sensitive instruments aboard found that the Jovian magnetic field's "north" magnetic pole is at the planet’s geographic south pole, with the axis of the magnetic field tilted 11 degrees from the Jovian rotation axis and offset from the center of Jupiter in a manner similar to the axis of the Earth's field.
		Energetic protons were found and measured in the Jovian radiation belt and electric currents were detected flowing between Jupiter and some of its moons, particularly Io.

	NOVA \| Teachers \| Origins: Where are the Aliens? \| Research Reading: Terrestrial and Jovian Planets \| PBS
		In the solar system, Jovian planets are located farther from the sun than terrestrial planets, and are therefore cooler.
		The majority of the extrasolar Jovian planets that have been discovered so far are closer to their stars than the Jovian planets in the solar system are to the sun.
		While scientists expect the atmospheres of Jovian planets in other solar systems to be composed mainly of hydrogen and helium, they have not yet measured the properties of their atmospheres.

	Jupiter
		The Galileo spacecraft's small descent probe also found turbulence in the Jovian atmosphere, indicating that Jupiter's winds are driven largely by the planet's internal heat rather than by solar radiation as on Earth.
		Finally, Jupiter System III, which is based on the rotation of Jupiter’s interior, is used for radio observations and isn't particularly useful for visual observers.
		However, the main focus of astrobiological interest in the jovian system at present is the Galilean satellites, most notably Europa.

	The Jovian Settlements (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		It is estimated that there is as many people in the Jovain system as on Earth between the various Belter and corporate interests in the Trojan asteroids, the settlements on Europa and Io, and the Hydrogen mining settlements in the upper Jovian atmosphere.
		The Jovian system is an encapsulated political entity with multiple 'Regions' all of which lie under the umbrella of the Confederation as a single political State.
		Europa is connected to the rest of the solar system with a geostationary station with a 'space elevator' that connects Europa Station to the city of Atlantis (formerly known as Europa Prime).

	Planet Jupiter
		About 4.5 billion years ago, when the solar system formed out of a swirling mass of gases and dust called the solar nebula, Jupiter's core probably began as a solid mass of ice and rock about 15 times the bulk of Earth.
		The ice content of Jupiter's mass was high because it formed in the colder outer region of the solar system, where the nebula contained a lot of ice particles, principally water and methane.
		Although the amount of carbon, for example, in the Jovian atmosphere is very small, carbon readily combines with hydrogen and trace amounts of oxygen to form a variety of gases such as carbon monoxide, methane, and other organic compounds.

	Introduction to solar system
		Our Solar System is a collection of planets, asteroids, satellites, comets, meteoroids, dust, and gas orbiting our sun, a G2 V star.
		The Solar System is believed to be about 5 billion years old and, presumably formed at the same time as the Sun.
		All of the jovian planets are accompanied by satellites.

	Io's volcanoes splatter dust into solar system
		The Jovian dust streams are intense bursts of submicron- sized particles (as small as particles of smoke) that originate in Jupiter's system and flow out about 290 million kilometers (180 million miles), or twice the distance between Earth and the Sun.
		"The escape of dust from the Jovian system in 1992 was a total surprise," said Dr. Mihaly Horanyi, a dust plasma physicist at the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics, Boulder, CO, and co-author of the paper.
		The Jovian dust streams, with their Io source, are minor when compared to the huge amounts of dust created in the solar system by comet activity and asteroid collisions.

	Jovian Planets, Aurora
		One major question about this fast-rotating system is to understand the importance of dependencies of the aurora and thus of the magnetosphere on corotational properties which are fixed in magnetic longitude and thus internally controlled, versus dependencies on the magnetic local time which are dominated instead by the solar wind interaction.
		In addition, MHD simulations of the Jovian system and its interaction with the solar wind have only recently been made, and we are aiming at comparing the auroral observations with the MHD simulations, magnetic field models, and simultaneous Galileo measurements made by our colleagues at UCLA.

		There are, however, a total of 61 moons orbiting the 9 planets in our solar system and some of them have atmospheres, organic molecules, water, or heat energy - the conditions necessary for life to exist.
		Io is one of the few bodies in the solar system known to be volcanically active (along with Neptune's moon Triton, the planet Venus, and of course, Earth).
		While Europa seems to be the only part of the Jovian system that may have all of the ingredients necessary to cook up the dish called "life"â”liquid water, organic molecules, and heat energyâ”the other Jovian moons and the planet Jupiter can not yet be completely ruled out.

		The patterns of motion in the solar system indicate that the planets formed in a generally organized way, and it was proposed in the 18th century that the planets could have formed from a flattened, rotating disk of material.
		Because the jovian planets grew to be more massive than the terrestrial planets, their gravitation was enough to attract and retain gaseous hydrogen and helium, so they could grow even more massive.
		When the jovian planets had grown to roughly their present masses, their gravity disturbed the orbits of many smaller objects near them, often sending them into the inner solar system or flinging them out to large distances.

		Our Solar System is a collection of planets, astroids, satellites, comets, meteoroids, dust, and gas orbiting our sun, a G2 V star.
		Collisions are expected every few million years; this may be cause of some massive extinction events on Earth and is certainly the cause of many of the craters on the terrestrial planets and the Moon.
		Comets that stray into the into the inner (planetary part) of the solar system are ofter gravitationally "captured" by a jovian planet causing them to have smaller orbits and highly shortened periods.

	Jovian Dust Streams Nature Paper Press Release
		The Jovian dust streams are high rate bursts of submicron sized particles traveling in the same direction from a source in the Jovian system and observed in interplanetary space out to 2AU.
		The Jovian dust streams were first discovered in 1992 when the Ulysses spacecraft dust detector observed the collimated streams during its Jupiter flyby.
		The source of the Jovian dust streams is a minor dust source compared to collisions of the main belt asteroids and comet activity, nevertheless, it adds to the variety of dust sources in the solar system.

	Jupiter
		These particles and fields comprise the jovian magnetosphere or magnetic environment, which extends 3 to 7 million kilometers (1.9 to 4.3 million miles) toward the Sun, and stretches in a windsock shape at least as far as Saturn's orbit - a distance of 750 million kilometers (466 million miles).
		In the centers of these cloud systems the air is rising, carrying fresh ammonia gas upward.
		The Jovian ring is about 6,500 kilometers (4,000 miles) wide and probably less than 10 kilometers (6.2 miles) thick.

	International Jupiter Watch: A Program to Study the Time Variability of the Jovian System
		They expressed concern that while major spaceflight missions had been flown to Jupiter and while a new one was being prepared, there was not the monitoring of the highly variable Jovian system needed to place these measurements in their proper context, nor was there sufficient monitoring to understand the source of much of this variability.
		An organization was needed to coordinate and encourage studies of the variability of the Jovian system, especially because the necessary long-term observations, often receive less support than those that appear to have a more rapid payoff.
		Moreover, since the system is ever changing on time scales as long as the longest baselines for which data are available we need to monitor Jovian activity for long periods of time, not just take snapshots.

		This is very close to the composition of the primordial Solar Nebula from which the entire solar system was formed.
		Therefore the interiors of the jovian planets probably have indistinct boundaries between their various interior layers.
		Three distinct layers of clouds are believed to exist consisting of ammonia ice, ammonium hydrosulfide and a mixture of ice and water.
