Jupiter’s Moons
Science & Reason on Facebook: tinyurl.com “Jupiter’s Moons” with Jane Houston Jones at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, California. — Please subscribe to Science & Reason: • www.youtube.com • www.youtube.com • www.youtube.com • www.youtube.com — Jupiter has 63 confirmed moons, giving it the largest retinue of moons with “reasonably secure” orbits of any planet in the Solar System. The most massive of them, the four Galilean moons, were discovered in 1610 by Galileo Galilei and were the first objects found to orbit a body that was neither Earth nor the Sun. From the end of the 19th century, dozens of much smaller Jovian moons have been discovered and have received the names of lovers, conquests, or daughters of the Roman god Jupiter, or his Greek equivalent, Zeus. The Galileans are far and away the largest objects in orbit around Jupiter, with the remaining 59 moons and the rings together comprising just 0.003 percent of the total orbiting mass. • en.wikipedia.org — Jupiters largest moons were first seen 400 years ago in early 1610. On the seventh of January, 1610 in Padua, Italy, Galileo looked up above the constellation Orion. He aimed his telescope at the well-known starry wanderer, the planet Jupiter, which was near Orion that night. What he saw through his telescope startled him and marked the beginning of modern astronomy.Jupiter was not just one object, as he wrote and drew in his journal. There are three stars in the heavens moving about …

You actually can see the moons of Jupiter through binoculars and yes they do line up on a slight angle. They look like bright little specks of sand. I’m surprised I was able to see them being that they’re so far away.
Here’s hoping we all live long enough to be able to say, “I’m closing up the house in Colorado now. I spend summers at my place on Europa, or Ganymede.” Definetely not Io, though, unless you’re the sort who likes lava. Hell, here’s hoping we live long enough for the economy to get better so we have some frickin’ money to buy on Europa.
@N1ntenOwned ehhhh thanks. did not hear it
@Ruskival365 Did you watch the video?….
@N1ntenOwned What is going to happen in 2020????
You had a big glass of crazy this morning!
Jupiter is certainly an odd place, its virtualy invisible to radar of course because it’s a large Gas Ball of for the most part hydrogen and helium and an assortment of stinky gas and water vapor, odd how such a thing is created, interesting stuff for sure.
IO is my country before i am human.
Go Go IO!
Why plan a mission for 2020..we are all going to die in 2012! We needed Nasa to get us off this planet before it blew up damn it, now we’re all as good as dead! What are they doing?!?
It’s true. I’ve seen all four moons through binoculars alone.
it would be better if they were inhabited by women.
wow… this kind of videos should be shown in tv and not funny little cats all the time
This video came out at the wrong time, Jupiter is no longer visible in the evening sky. I have to say though, it’s really cool looking through a pair of binoculars and being able to see the moons, even if the view shakes a little too much.
Finally a mission to Europa.
plug pulled. go to your local multi-national banking cartel to see NASAs funds in action. yay for the modern age of reason!
400 years. Amazing.
thanks cool video
normally I would make a joke, but honestly this is amazing. Imagine how Galilieo felt looking at that? just imagine that feeling; the feeling that the fabric of reality–the same stuff we take as a dead background in the drudgery of life–suddenly coming alive by showing us the single most astounding concept any man can have, “You knew nothing, but you can discover more”. Those few moments in my life are incalculable in value
oh, such a incredible journey to Jupiter. Thank you for sharing this vid!!!

You guys are fucking awesome. Keep up the great videos.
Awesome 8)))
It´s so great to have this kind of information,it´s exciting to know what the first astronomers experienced by looking at the sky…Thanks for sharing this!
can’t wait until 2020.
@mrgionni Does that mean i missed it? I still need to get myself a telescope
By the way mars is also coming at its closest on december the 30st. It will look like another moon people telle me. And this will only happen once in our life time ;o
OUTSTANDING JOB! I LOVE ASTRONOMY! KEEP IT UP! Astronomy & Science fans LOVE THESE! =D
I HAD my 3-D glasses, but my family members are rude, & through my important stuff out. Anyways, NASA should send a Probe there ASAP! A telescope would be great too, for better images of the Solar System! It’s a shame that the Communication Dish on the Jovian Space Satellite NASA sent to Jupiter about 10 years ago didn’t open all the way! =(

ganymede and titan yes sir ive been around
@sunniski No, just seem to be ok at it. :O) All the best.
You really have a gift for putting together video’s. did you go through any school or training?
Thimbs up for these Amazing Images. Thanks !
All of these are so beautiful and well put together! And for once, have information that I haven’t heard a thousand times! I’m in love!
Super video, AggMan. Your enthusiasm for Ganymede is infectious!
Jupiter will be at it’s closest to Earth this month, Sept. 22nd.
@wiggarigga I swear I seen the four of them lined up to the left side of Jupiter just a couple days back. Of course the one top right looked a good size, maybe it was just the 3 and 1 of the irregulars to the left? I saw 6 moons in total, which was pretty amazing seeing I was using binoculars. Helps to live in the country.
‘
what is the name of spacecraft going outer space and tok pictures of jupiter / moons
I dun want to watch everything all at once, one a day or i wont absorb the information
@nyhero2012 me too
i like this video very informative for those asronomy geeks out there like me
I think there is life there trying to contact us. Humans like us.

What is the material from 3:56 to 4:08 in that canyon? Is it frozen, or…
And why could it be … ??
I was there!
@Jip4head Awesome this was 11 months ago? Man time flys by…
@sharinganx12
our moon is called Lunar
Intelligent Intentional Design.
@TalkSic666,
Yeah, look into “plasma arcing”, “electric universe” and “arcing erosin”, these features are not the result of impacts, but are evidence of electric currents and arcing.
anyone notice that the biggest moon (Granymede) orbits the Biggest Planet (Jupiter) and the 2nd biggest moon (Titan) orbits the 2nd biggest planet (Saturn). Also our moon is the 5th biggest moon and it orbits the 5th biggest planet,Earth. Talk about ironic
The heat received from the Sun was only about a twenty-fifth of that received on the surface of the Earth, and this was drawn to the cities and collected and preserved under their glass domes by a number of devices which displayed superhuman intelligence. The dwindling supplies of water were hoarded in vast subterranean reservoirs and by means of a perfect system of redistillation the priceless fluid was used over and over again both for for irrigating the land within the cities.
Lol one second? Freeze time and everything except yourself, then go to these celestial objects for however long you want. When you’re satisfied and you’ve returned to Earth, resume time lol!
