30 wrz 2015 · With the exception of the sun, Jupiter is the most dominant object in the solar system. Because of its enormous size and the fact that it was likely the first of the planets to form, it has profoundly influenced the formation and evolution of the other bodies that orbit our star.
27 paź 2023 · Juno 's mission is to measure Jupiter's composition, gravity field, magnetic field, and polar magnetosphere. It will also search for clues about how the planet formed, including whether it has a rocky core, the amount of water present within the deep atmosphere, mass distribution, and its deep winds, which can reach speeds up to 618 kilometers ...

Juno will orbit Jupiter’s north and south poles for about one year. One trip around Jupiter takes Juno about 14 days. Juno has science tools to study Jupiter’s atmosphere.
Juno, a spacecraft the size of a basketball court, entered Jupiter’s orbit on the 4th of July. Named after the Greek god’s wife, it took this NASA probe five years to travel to the largest planet in our solar system. It’s mission will be to learn as much as possible about how Jupiter formed.
8 lis 2024 · Jupiter's core is very hot and is under tons of pressure! What Is the Weather Like on Other Planets? Each of the planets in our solar system experiences its own unique weather. What Powers a Spacecraft? It all depends on what the spacecraft will do! Read on to learn more. Color and learn about some faraway worlds with these coloring pages!
Juno is the first solar-powered spacecraft designed by NASA to operate at such a great distance from the Sun. Jupiter’s orbit is five times farther from the Sun than Earth’s, so the giant planet receives 4% as much sunlight as Earth does.
