On Jupiter, the visible cloud bands gave indication for upward motion in the zones and downward motion in the belts, indicative only for the upper few bars. [40] However, higher frequency of lightning flashes in the belts, indicative of upward atmospheric motion, gave indication for a reversed motion in the deeper atmosphere.
Jupiter would deliver about 36 Sv (3600 rem) per day to unshielded astronauts at Io and about 5.4 Sv (540 rems) per day to unshielded astronauts at Europa, [89] which is a decisive aspect due to the fact that already an exposure to about 0.75 Sv over a period of a few days is enough to cause radiation poisoning, and about 5 Sv over a few days ...
The magnetosphere of Jupiter is the cavity created in the solar wind by Jupiter's magnetic field.Extending up to seven million kilometers in the Sun's direction and almost to the orbit of Saturn in the opposite direction, Jupiter's magnetosphere is the largest and most powerful of any planetary magnetosphere in the Solar System, and by volume the largest known continuous structure in the Solar ...
Marking the latest foray into space exploration, NASA is preparing to launch its first mission to explore Jupiter's moon, Europa, to determine if it harbors conditions suitable to support life.
Comet Shoemaker–Levy 9 (formally designated D/1993 F2) was a comet that broke apart in July 1992 and collided with Jupiter in July 1994, providing the first direct observation of an extraterrestrial collision of Solar System objects. [5] This generated a large amount of coverage in the popular media, and the comet was closely observed by ...
Jupiter line: Jupiter is the planet of fortune, blessings and abundance. It’s your good luck charm. It’s your good luck charm. Saturn line: Dubinet calls this the “task master planet.”
On April 10, 2020, the Juno spacecraft observed a fireball on Jupiter that was consistent with the impact of a 1–4-meter (3.3–13.1 ft) meteor. It was the first fireball to be detected by Juno. Researchers estimate Jupiter experiences approximately 24,000 impact events of this size per year—around 2.7 per hour.
