The pressure in Jupiter's atmosphere is great enough to crush a human. Like the other gas giant outer planets, Jupiter has no solid surface. A Galileo probe, released into Jupiter's atmosphere, lasted for ... descend, it likely melted and vaporized in the extreme heat. In addition, the radiation near Jupiter is at least 25 times more powerful than the dose considered deadly to humans. ---- Answer ...

... get to a planet depends on what path we take to get there and how fast we are traveling. The Voyager 1 probe, launched in September of 1977, arrived at Jupiter in March of 1979, thus traveling for a year and six months. The Pioneer 10 probe, launched in March of 1972, arrived at Jupiter in December of 1973, traveling for a year and nine months. The Cassini mission, launched in October of 1997, did not arrive at Jupiter until December of 2000 ...

... Cassini mission (1999). The Galileo orbiter is the only mission to actually orbit the planet Jupiter, studying the planet for seven years from 1995 until 2003. There are two future probes, Juno and JIMO, which are planned to study Jupiter after 2010. ---- Answer provided by Laura Peckyno & Robert Peckyno Image:K2S logosmall.jpg Question and ...

This dramatic view of Jupiter's Great Red Spot and its surroundings was obtained by Voyager 1 on ... million miles from Jupiter. Cloud details as small as 100 miles across can be seen here. The wavy cloud pattern to the left of the Red Spot is a region of extraordinarily complex and variable wave motion. To give a sense of Jupiter's scale, the white oval storm directly below the ...

Jupiter has a dim planetary ring composed of smoke-like dust particles knocked from its moons by meteor impacts. An outer ring, circling Jupiter backwards, also exists. The ring's origin is uncertain, but it might be composed of interplanetary dust captured by Jupiter's gravity pull. ---- Answer provided by Laura Peckyno & Robert Peckyno Image:K2S logosmall.jpg Question ...
