The 2009 Jupiter impact event, occasionally referred to as the Wesley impact, was a July 2009 impact event on Jupiter that caused a black spot in the planet's atmosphere. The impact area covered 190 million square kilometers, similar in area to the planet's Little Red Spot and approximately the size of the Pacific Ocean . [ 3 ]
Sinope / s ə ˈ n oʊ p iː / is a retrograde irregular satellite of Jupiter discovered by Seth Barnes Nicholson at Lick Observatory in 1914, [1] and is named after Sinope of Greek mythology. Sinope did not receive its present name until 1975; [10] [11] before then, it was simply known as Jupiter IX. It was sometimes called "Hades" [12 ...

Apparent retrograde motion is the apparent motion of a planet in a direction opposite to that of other bodies within its system, as observed from a particular vantage point. Direct motion or prograde motion is motion in the same direction as other bodies.
WASP-17b is thought to have a retrograde orbit (with a sky-projected inclination of the orbit normal against the stellar spin axis of about 149°, [11] not to be confused with the line-of-sight inclination of the orbit, given in the table, which is near 90° for all transiting planets), which would make it the first planet discovered to have such an orbital motion.
Jupiter, the planet of prosperity and abundance, stations retrograde in Taurus from September 4 to December 30, 2023. After a summer filled with retrograde madness, one more planet is set to take ...
An analysis of images taken by the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope in 2010 shows that the power law for Jupiter's population of small retrograde satellites, down to a detection limit of ≈ 400 m, is relatively shallow, at q ≃ 2.5. Thus it can be extrapolated that Jupiter should have 600 +600 −300 moons 400 m in diameter or greater. [18]
Jupiter retrograde begins, shaking up Libra's philosophy about life. It'll be important to tap into optimistic thinking intentionally. Otherwise, your mind may focus on the worst-case scenario.
