Topic > What's out there? The Planet Jupiter - 1129

Have you ever looked up at the night sky and wondered what might be out there? A question I always ask myself is: where in the universe could there be a livable planet? Well, the answer may be closer than you think, actually 588 million kilometers from Earth. Of course I'm talking about Jupiter. Fallen before, let's ask ourselves why we might move. Let's face it, the Earth cannot be habitable forever, in fact, given the rate of pollution of the atmosphere by humans, the Earth will not last long. So he may need a new place to live. So could the answer be Jupiter? Before that we need to know something about the new planet and whether it can support life. Let's start with the story of Jupiter. Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system. Jupiter is named after the king of the gods and Roman mythology. The ancient Greeks named the planet after Zeus, the king of the Greek pantheon. In 1610, a man named “Galileo Galilei” was looking through his homemade telescope when he came across Jupiter. He noticed four objects surrounding Jupiter and described them as "four fixed stars, totally invisible due to their smallness". It was there that he discovered four large moons Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto, which underwent several name changes but are now known as Galilee. moons. This was the first time celestial bodies were seen surrounding an object other than Earth. Jupiter spins faster than any other planet, taking 10 hours to complete one revolution around its axis, compared to Earth's 24 hours. This rapid rotation causes Jupiter to bulge at the equator and flatten at the poles, making the planet about 7% wider at the equator than at the poles. This is Jupiter and this is Jupiter near the earth. Jup...... in the center of the card...... a bear to protect her from the jealousy of his wife Hera. Subsequently, Zeus placed Callisto and their son in the sky, and mother and son became Ursa Major and Ursa Minor. Callisto is the third largest moon in the solar system and is almost as large as Mercury. Its interior is similar to Ganymede, except that the inner rocky core is smaller and this core is surrounded by a large icy mantle. Callisto's surface is the darkest of the four main moons, but it is twice as bright as our Moon. It is thought to be a long dead world. Callisto is approximately 4 billion years old and has the oldest landscape in the solar system. While Jupiter isn't the best place to land or live, it hosts a moon that might be habitual. Europa and Ganymede are two of the best places to try to colonize, although we may harm the organisms there, if any. In any case Jupiter is not a planet to live on.
