Artificial Satellites of Jupiter
The latest artificial satellite sent to Jupiter was Juno sent by the USA in
2011. Many probes have been sent to pass Jupiter but the first to orbit and
observe it was the Galileo spacecraft. Launched on Oct. 18, 1989, it arrived
on Dec.7, 1995 and gathered data in its orbit for the next two years.
How Jupiter was formed
Jupiter was formed about 4.5 billion years ago. Solarwinds
moved lighter elements from the sun. Gravity trapped gas and
dust to form gas giants, such as Jupiter. Most of Jupiter’s
mass is from the Sun.
Jupiters Mythological story
Jupiter is the king of the gods. He is often associated with thunder,
lightning, and storms. He is known as Jupiter Elicius, meaning one
who brings forth. His greatest title would be Jupiter Optimus
Maximus, meaning the best and the greatest. Jupiter raised a group
of cretans to engage the cercopes, a group of forest creatures.
Jupiters exploits made Saturn, the king of the gods jealous. Saturn
planned a scheme to kill Jupiter. Jupiter heard that his father
wanted him dead so he deposed his father and became the king of
the gods.
