101. The Planet Jupiter
     general features and some pictures.  
     http://csep10.phys.utk.edu/astr161/lect/jupiter/jupiter.html
     
     Extractions: The planet Jupiter is shown in the adjacent Hubble Space Telescope true-color image (Ref) . Jupiter is by far the largest of the planets. It is more than twice as massive as all other planets combined; if it had been only about 100 times more massive at birth (not so much by astronomical standards) it would have become a star instead of a planet. Then the Solar System might be a double star system instead of a single star with a planetary system. Jupiter has features very different from terrestrial planets. Its composition is more like that of stars, and if it has any solid surface it is hidden deep at its center: Jupiter is apparently almost entirely gas and liquid. It also has an internal energy source and enormous magnetic fields. Finally, the 4 largest moons of Jupiter (the Galilean Moons) are sufficiently interesting in their own right that they are among the most studied objects in the Solar System. We shall devote a separate section to studying their properties. Our most detailed information concerning Jupiter has come from the space probes Pioneer 10 (1973), Pioneer 11 (1974), Voyager I (March, 1979), Voyager II (July, 1979), and Galileo (1995-present). The first 4 were flyby missions; the Galileo probe was inserted into orbit around Jupiter December, 1995, and launched a probe into the atmosphere that transmitted information before being destroyed. The

102. The Planet Neptune
     general features and some pictures.  
     http://csep10.phys.utk.edu/astr161/lect/neptune/neptune.html
     
     Extractions: Neptune is like Uranus in many ways, but has its own unique features. Because of Pluto's highly elliptical orbit , it is currently the most distant planet from the Sun, at a separation of about 30 Astronomical Units. The full disk of Neptune in shown in the adjacent image (Ref) Neptune has been particularly challenging to study from the ground because its disk is small and badly blurred by the Earth's atmosphere at that distance. In spite of this, ground-based astronomers had learned a great deal about this planet since its position was first predicted by Adams and Leverrier in 1845. However, our most detailed information about Neptune has come from the Voyager 2 flyby in 1989.

Helium comes in second. Carbon and oxygen are neck and neck for third place. M 0.4 M sun < M < 4 M sun : Too cool to fuse C and O to heavier elements. These fairly low mass stars end as white dwarfs made of C and O.

     Extractions: General Astronomy Back to Frequently Asked Astronomy and Physics Questions Do all objects in the universe exert force on all other objects? F, 8th grade, Blacksburg Middle School, Blacksburg, Virginia, USA. 1996 Do the orbits of any of our nine planets change, or do the planets always follow the same paths? F, 8th grade, Blacksburg Middle School, Blacksburg, Virginia, USA. 1996 Are the planets in our solar system likely to be destroyed when the sun finally burns out, and will they be destroyed by a nuclear explosion or just drift off without the sun's gravitational pull? F, 8th grade, Blacksburg Middle School, Blacksburg, Virginia, USA. 1996 I looked around on the Internet but could not find a chart showing years and number of sunspots. Do you know where I might find this information? PM, 9th grade, Blacksburg High School, Blacksburg, Virginia, USA. 1996 All objects in the universe exert a gravitational force on all others. But, the farther away an object is, the smaller is the force it exerts. (The force is inversely proportional to square of the distance from the object: e.g., twice as far away means only 1/4 the amount of force). Furthermore, the more massive the object, the greater the force it will exert on other objects (e.g., twice the mass means twice the force). So nearby, massive objects, dominate the gravitational force on something.

Future Visions for Antarctic Astronomy Meeting Download a full 'tar zipped' file of the papers for the Special Session 2 proceedings in either; Australian astronomers, through the Joint Australian Centre for Astrophysical Research in Antarctica (JACARA), have been playing a leading role in developing astronomy in Antarctica. Groups at the UNSW and the ANU have deployed experiments at the South Pole, in collaboration with the US Center for Astrophysical Research in Antarctica (CARA). They have led the site testing program at the Pole, and contributed significantly to the infrared program. The UNSW group is also working with the French and Italian national Antarctic programs to develop astronomical facilities at Dome C. They have proposed the 2m Douglas Mawson Telescope for the site. Australia also maintains a neutron and muon telescope at its coastal station of Mawson.
