Jupiter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jupiter is perpetually covered with a layer of clouds, composed of ammonia crystals and possibly ammonium hydrosulfide, and it may not have any solid surface in that the density may simply increase gradually as you move towards the core. Jupiter is composed of a relatively small rocky core, surrounded by metallic hydrogen, surrounded by liquid hydrogen, which is surrounded by gaseous hydrogen. Jupiter's atmosphere is composed of ~81% hydrogen and ~18% helium by number of atoms. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Jupiter_(planet)   (1518 words)

Jupiter Jupiter is the supreme god of the Roman pantheon, called dies pater, "shining father". Jupiter is also the protector of the ancient league of Latin cities.

JUPITER'S Moons - EnchantedLearning.com Callisto is a large, icy, dark-colored, low-density outer moon of Jupiter that is scarred with impact craters and ejecta. Jupiter has four large moons and dozens of smaller ones (there are about 60 known moons so far). The moons of Jupiter are (in order by their distance from Jupiter): Metis, Adrastea, Amalthea, Thebe, Io, Europa, Ganymede (the biggest), Callisto (the second biggest), Leda (the smallest), Himalia, Lysithea, Elara, Ananke, Carme, Pasiphae, Sinope, and many newly-discovered moons that haven't been named yet. enchantedlearning.com /subjects/astronomy/planets/jupiter/moons.shtml   (1408 words)

BBC - Science & Nature - Space - Jupiter Jupiter is one of the four 'gas giant' planets. Jupiter is a 'gas giant', so it's not possible to land a ship on its surface. Jupiter is one of the easiest planets to spot from the Earth. www.bbc.co.uk /science/space/solarsystem/jupiter/index.shtml   (707 words)

Jupiter (Jupiter does NOT produce energy by nuclear fusion as in the Sun; it is much too small and hence its interior is too cool to ignite nuclear reactions.) This interior heat probably causes convection deep within Jupiter's liquid layers and is probably responsible for the complex motions we see in the cloud tops. Jupiter is very gradually slowing down due to the tidal drag produced by the Galilean satellites. Jupiter is more than twice as massive as all the other planets combined (318 times Earth). dept.physics.upenn.edu /nineplanets/jupiter.html   (2001 words)

APOD: 2003 November 14 - Jupiter Portrait Jupiter's diameter is over 11 times the diameter of Earth and the smallest storms visible in the Cassini Jupiter portrait are similar in size to large terrestrial hurricanes. Jupiter's composition is dominated by hydrogen and the clouds contain hydrogen compounds like ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, and even water. mosaic portrait of Jupiter recorded from the Cassini spacecraft during its Jovian flyby in December 2000. antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov /apod/ap031114.html   (152 words)

StarDate Online Solar System Guide Jupiter Pioneer 10 found that Jupiter's interior is hotter than previously thought, discovered that the planet's radiation belts are strong enough to kill a human being, and discovered that Jupiter's moon Io is embedded in a giant cloud of hydrogen that encircles Jupiter. Rings encircle Jupiter, although they are far darker and skimpier than those of the flashier planet Saturn. Jupiter's magnetic field captures electrically charged particles from the Sun and from the planet's volcanic moon Io. stardate.org /resources/ssguide/jupiter.html   (891 words)

Cassini-Huygens: Multimedia-Images This true color mosaic of Jupiter was constructed from images taken by the narrow angle camera onboard NASA's Cassini spacecraft on December 29, 2000, during its closest approach to the giant planet at a distance of approximately 10 million kilometers (6.2 million miles). Jupiter's diameter is eleven times that of Earth, so the smallest storms on this mosaic are comparable in size to the largest hurricanes on Earth. The prominent dark band in the northern half of the planet is the location of Jupiter's fastest jet stream, with eastward winds of 480 kilometers (300 miles) per hour. saturn.jpl.nasa.gov /multimedia/images/image-details.cfm?imageID=667   (459 words)

SLS :: Research Initiatives :: Applications :: JUPITER Jupiter will not be able to tell you about the time, the price of gasoline, traffic conditions, the meaning of life etc. If you ask these questions the system will hopefully tell you it didn't understand, but might give you a forecast for some city! Jupiter is a telephone-only system, so we must be able to deal with the special challenges telephone speech presents. Jupiter must understand the content of Web-based weather reports in order to deliver just the information that the user requests (e.g., "What is the temperature today in Boston?"). groups.csail.mit.edu /sls/applications/jupiter.shtml   (1246 words)

Jupiter - Astronomy for Kids Jupiter's diameter of over 85,000 miles is almost twelve times that of Earth and its mass is well over twice as much as all the rest of the planets put together. A "day" on Jupiter is just a little over ten hours long, which means that not only is Jupiter huge, but it rotates very fast on its axis. Jupiter's extremely large size has made it a favorite observation subject for professional and amateur astronomers ever since Galileo used his first primitive telescope almost four hundred years ago. www.dustbunny.com /afk/planets/jupiter   (915 words)

A Close Encounter with Jupiter Jupiter is that very bright "star" near the horizon--not to be confused with even brighter Venus in the west. In fact, Jupiter will be even easier to see after March 4th, because the planet, still very bright, will rise earlier and earlier in the evening sky. Harry Potter and the Moons of Jupiter (Science@NASA) -- Blistering-hot volcanoes that belch snow. science.nasa.gov /headlines/y2004/03mar_jupiter.htm   (725 words)

:: NASA Quest > Archives :: Jupiter's magnetic field is immense, even in proportion to the size of the planet, stretching millions of miles into the solar system. Jupiter, named after the king of the Roman Gods, reigns supreme among the nine planets of our solar system, rivaling the Sun in its grandeur. Models of star formation suggest that Jupiter's mass is only about one-eightieth of the mass needed for ignition, which occurs due to heating from internal gravitational collapse. quest.arc.nasa.gov /galileo/About/jupiter.html   (314 words)

NASA's Solar System Exploration: Planets: Jupiter: Overview A Cassini spacecraft portrait of Jupiter in 2000.

Jupiter Jupiter is 318 times as massive as the Earth and 2-1/2 times as massive as all the other planets in the Solar System put together. Jupiter's makeup is much like the Sun: 90% hydrogen and about 10% helium, with minor amounts of methane (CH4), ammonia (NH3), water, carbon monoxide, ethane (C2H6) and other things. Jupiter is still only 1/10 the diameter and 1/1000 the mass of the Sun. www.uwgb.edu /dutchs/planets/jupiter.htm   (723 words)

Chandra :: Photo Album :: Jupiter :: 27 Feb 02 While Chandra observed Jupiter for its entire 10-hour rotation, the northern auroral X-rays were discovered to be due to a single 'hot spot' that pulsates with a period of 45 minutes, similar to high-latitude radio pulsations previously detected by NASA's Galileo and Cassini spacecraft. The X-rays are thought to be produced by energetic oxygen and sulfur ions that are trapped in Jupiter's magnetic field and crash into its atmosphere. Although there had been prior detections of X-rays from Jupiter with other X-ray telescopes, no one expected that the sources of the X-rays would be located so near the poles. chandra.harvard.edu /photo/2002/0001   (290 words)

Voyager - Science - Planetary Voyage - Jupiter It is clear to scientists from a comparison of data from Pioneers 10 and 11 (which flew past Jupiter in late 1973 and 1974) and the Voyagers that something changed in the four and one-half years between the Pioneer and Voyager encounters. Although astronomers had studied Jupiter from Earth for several centuries, scientists were surprised by many of Voyager 1 and 2's findings. NASA launched the two Voyager spacecraft to Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune in the late summer of 1977. voyager.jpl.nasa.gov /science/jupiter.html   (435 words)
