Images taken by NASA’s Juno Orbiter from 8000 km above clearly show the shadow of Io, a satellite above Jupiter. The shadow of IO, about the same size as our moon, is only a small shadow above the globular giant Jupiter. This is an event similar to our solar eclipse. The eclipse is a small…
The Van Allen Belt is an atmosphere in which high-energy charged particles are blocked by our Earth’s magnetic field. The radiation belt was discovered in 1958 by James van Allen, a physicist at the University of Iowa (USA).What are particles?The Van Allen belt has an outer belt and an inner belt .The outer belt is…
The “flash” of the impact was large enough to be seen through the telescope from Earth.The size of Jupiter’s Great Red Spot is 16,350 km (April 2017). This spot is 1.3 times the size of Earth’s.There are other spots on Jupiter that are thousands of kilometers in diameter. Perhaps this “object” that might fall to…
