Two space probes called Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 were launched in 1977. They went to Jupiter‚ Saturn‚ Uranus‚ and Neptune. They were launched in the United States from Cape Canaveral‚ Florida. It took two years to reach the first planet they were researching‚ Jupiter. Voyagers 1 and 2 took around 100‚000 pictures of the outer planets. They took pictures of Jupiter’s “swirling red atmosphere”‚ images of volcanoes on Jupiter’s moon‚ Io‚ erupting 200 miles into space‚ and awesome pictures of

Before The Geocentric Model Circa 150 B.C. Hipparchus put the Earth at the center of the Universe in his astronomical work. Hipparchus assumed that all of the solar system bodies visible to the naked eye (Moon‚ Mercury‚ Venus‚ Mars‚ Sun Jupiter and Saturn) revolved around the earth in an ellipse pattern (Jones‚ A.R.‚ n.d.).

Ceres was the mother of Proserpine‚ and Proserpine’s father was Jupiter‚ Ceres’ brother. Ceres has many reasons why she is one of the greatest and the most important goddess

The Cassini-Huygens mission was a fruitful journey lasting almost 20 years. It was created to study Saturn‚ its moons‚ and its fascinating rings. Scientists gathered a lot of information from it‚ and it is widely considered a massive success. They studied many moons‚ including Enceladus and Titan‚ which are discussed below and provided lots of information. They also discovered a whole roster of new moons they had never seen before. Natural phenomena were witnessed‚ like a giant storm that reached

Titan is the largest moon of Saturn. It is the only natural satellite known to have a dense atmosphere‚[9] and the only object other than Earth for which clear evidence of stable bodies of surface liquid has been found.[10] Titan is the sixth ellipsoidal moon from Saturn. Frequently described as a planet-like moon‚ Titan has a diameter 50% larger than Earth’s natural satellite‚ the Moon‚ and is 80% more massive. It is the second-largest moon in the Solar System‚ after Jupiter’s moon Ganymede‚ and

Christiaan Huygens was a Dutch scientist and mathematician born in 1629. Huygens was known for his work with early studies of the rings of Saturn and later the discovery of Saturn’s moon Titan. Huygens would grind his own lenses for his telescope and invented what is now known as the Huygenian eyepiece. He was also known for his work as a physicist‚ probabilist‚ and horologist. Placing two plano lenses in a telescope‚ separated by an air gap‚ creates the Huygenian eyepiece. The lenses should

Voyager 1 was the first spacecraft ever to take detailed pictures of the moons of Saturn and Jupiter.

This means that‚ even though the pattern is difficult to distinquish‚ Uranus is striped‚ just like Jupiter and Saturn. Uranus has 21 fascinating moons and a complicated ring system. The ring system is a completely different form of ring system than that found at Saturn or Jupiter. At Uranus there is even a very obvious partial ring‚ or "ring
