Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system, with a diameter of 85,788 miles. It is named after the Roman king of gods and has a colorful appearance with white, orange, brown, yellow and red clouds made of poisonous gases like hydrogen and helium. Jupiter has over 60 moons, including the four largest - Europa, Callisto, Io, and Ganymede. Spacecraft that have flown by Jupiter include Pioneer 10, Voyager 1 and 2, Ulysses, and Galileo.
Pluto - The Dwarf Planet
Curiosities and general information about the dwarf-planet Pluto, visited by New Horizons spacecraft in 14-July-2015.
The history of pluto
Pluto was originally classified as the ninth planet from the Sun after its discovery in 1930. However, in 2006 the International Astronomical Union reclassified Pluto as a dwarf planet due to discoveries of other large bodies in the Kuiper belt and a new definition of a planet requiring it to dominate its orbital neighborhood. While some scientists accepted this change, others sought to overturn it, and some members of the public rejected Pluto's demotion from planet status despite the IAU decision.
Juno mission
The Juno mission is a NASA mission to study Jupiter through a spacecraft placed in a highly elliptical polar orbit around the planet. Juno launched in 2011 and arrived at Jupiter in 2016, where it began collecting data over 37 orbits to better understand Jupiter's composition, gravity and magnetic fields, and polar auroras. This data will help scientists better understand how Jupiter formed and evolved, as well as the early development of our own solar system. Key instruments onboard Juno include magnetometers, microwave radiometers, and cameras to observe Jupiter's interior, atmosphere, magnetosphere and auroras.
Ch12s3
Space probes are uncrewed spacecraft that carry scientific tools to study planets and other bodies in space, as they can complete missions too dangerous or expensive for humans. Key probes include Luna 9, the first to soft land on the moon; Venera 9, the first on Venus which found rocks similar to Earth's and intense heat; and the Viking missions, which searched for life on Mars and found it was once warmer. Galileo and Cassini were the first probes to the outer planets, with Galileo discovering Jupiter's moons may have liquid water and magnetic fields.

Pluto
Pluto is a small, cold dwarf planet located in the Kuiper Belt at the edge of our solar system. It has an elliptical orbit that sometimes takes it closer to the Sun than Neptune. Pluto is made up of rocks and frozen gases like methane and ammonia and has a very thin atmosphere. It has three moons, with Charon being the largest at about half the size of Pluto. Due to its small size and great distance from Earth, Pluto cannot be seen with the naked eye and requires a large telescope to view it as a tiny point of light.
Phy Pro- PHYsics PROject
This document provides information about the planet Saturn. It discusses Saturn's distance from the sun, diameter, temperature, rotation period, number of moons, composition and other key facts. It specifically mentions that Saturn is known for its prominent ring system, which was discovered by Christian Huygens in 1665 and that the Cassini Division, a gap within the rings, is named after Giovani Cassini who discovered it. The rings extend from 6,630 km to 120,700 km from Saturn's equator and are composed primarily of ice particles.
Trinity Pluto trinity
Venetia Burney, an 11-year old English girl, proposed the name "Pluto" for the newly discovered planet in 1930. Her grandfather sent the name to the Royal Astronomical Society, who accepted it. In 2006, Pluto was reclassified as a dwarf planet due to its small size and inability to clear its orbital path of other objects. Pluto has a thin atmosphere composed of methane and nitrogen, orbits the sun elliptically, and has seasonal changes as its surface ices evaporate and recondense with distance from the sun.

Background
We can search for evidence of past, or even present, life forms within our own solar system, find
evidence of simple life on planets around other stars –- a planet where water could be present has
recently be found –- or even detect an intelligent signal from an alien civilization. The speaker was
a project scientist in the most sensitive search, Project Phoenix, ever undertaken. Sadly, no signals
were detected but a new 10 year search using two of the world’s largest radio telescopes is about
to begin and, during the next decade, a giant radio telescope, the Square Kilometer Array, will have
the sensitivity to detect alien signals from across the galaxy.
Jupiter - Full Information
Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system, taking almost 12 years to orbit the sun. It has over 63 moons, including Io which shows significant volcanic activity. Past missions like Voyager and Galileo have revealed details about Jupiter's atmosphere of hydrogen and helium, as well as its ring system. Current missions like Juno are continuing to study Jupiter and provide new insights into the giant planet.
Redone final project
Space probes are unmanned spacecraft that collect science information from locations in space without astronauts. They carry instrument packages to conduct scientific experiments and transmit data back to Earth. Probes can fly by, orbit, or land on planets, moons, asteroids, and comets to study features from a close proximity. Some notable space probes include Voyager 1 and 2, Galileo, Cassini, Curiosity, and probes launched by ISRO to study planets in our solar system.
Space Mission Unmanned
The document summarizes several unmanned space missions. The Hubble Space Telescope was launched in 1990 to take sharp images from outside Earth's atmosphere. The SOHO probe was launched in 1995 to study the sun. Pioneer 10 was the first to travel through the asteroid belt and observe Jupiter up close. The Lunar Prospector orbited the moon from 1998 to 1999 to map its surface composition and search for ice deposits. Juno is currently orbiting Jupiter to study its composition, gravity, and magnetosphere to learn about how it formed. The Voyager spacecraft explored Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune in the 1970s and 1980s and discovered a possible ocean on one of Jupiter's moons.
Jupiter Presentation
Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system that is made up of gases without a solid surface, and it has over 50 official moons orbiting it.
Mars mission
The document discusses NASA's objectives to search for evidence of ancient life on Mars through ongoing rover missions. It also summarizes a presentation on a potential Mars mission, including discussions with scientists about challenges such as water availability, energy for rockets, bone density loss, and radiation. Biosphere 2 is mentioned as a facility studying closed ecological systems that could be relevant for Mars colonization. The overall feasibility of a Mars mission by 2028 is presented.
Mars planet and exploration
As parts of the Earth were colonized there success sometimes depended on the raw materials that were available to support the colony.
This could be same for Mars. Materials could be mined from Mars to support the colony or to send back to Earth. Its close location to the asteroid belt could also allow mining of iron nickel meteorites which are abundantly found throughout the asteroid belt.
Planets and Satellites
The document describes the inner and outer planets of the solar system, as well as their natural and artificial satellites. It provides details about the moons of each planet, including Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. It also discusses different types of artificial satellites such as communication, resource, navigation, military, scientific, and weather satellites and how they are used.
Too pluto and beyond
The document provides information about the dwarf planet Pluto, including details about its eccentric orbit around the sun, composition and surface features, exploration by the New Horizons spacecraft, and its status as the largest object in the Kuiper Belt. Pluto has an eccentric elliptical orbit that takes it from 30 to 39 astronomical units from the sun over 248 Earth years, and it has a surface temperature ranging from -396°F to -378°F with an atmosphere composed primarily of nitrogen. The New Horizons mission launched in 2006 to conduct the first flyby and imaging of Pluto and its largest moon Charon.
Moons Of Our Solar System
The document discusses moons in the solar system, including Titania (largest of Uranus' 27 moons), Luna (Earth's only moon), Calypso and Atlas (two of Saturn's 60 moons), Triton (Neptune's largest moon), Io (third largest of Jupiter's 79 moons), and Titan (Saturn's largest moon with a thick atmosphere). It also briefly mentions moons like Miranda, Europa, Nereid, Phobos, and provides more details on specific moons like Leda, Kale, Aitne, and Sponde. The document concludes with a bibliography of referenced sources.
Pluto presentation
The document discusses facts about Pluto, including that it used to be considered the smallest planet and has at least 3 moons around the same size as itself. Pluto is much colder than Earth without life, orbits the sun in 248 years, and became classified as a dwarf planet in 2006. It was named by an 11-year old girl and is located near Neptune as one of the farthest dwarf planets from the sun, with its 3 moons being named Charon, Hydra and Nix.
Copia di student talking time planet mars
NASA is looking for volunteers for a one-way trip to Mars to establish a permanent human colony. The settlers would not return to Earth as it would be too costly. While Mars has substantial quantities of water, making it potentially habitable, the planet also has freezing temperatures and a thin, carbon dioxide atmosphere, posing challenges for human survival. Scientists have proposed genetic modification and synthetic biology as technologies that could be explored to prepare for the mission.
Pluto
Pluto is now classified as a dwarf planet rather than a full planet. It is smaller than 7 moons in the solar system and was reclassified in 2006. Pluto has an elliptical orbit around the sun that takes 90,465 days to complete and rotates on its axis every 6 days and 9 hours.
Dwarf Planet PLUTO 2015
Pluto is classified as a dwarf planet located in the Kuiper Belt beyond Neptune's orbit. It has a diameter less than one-fifth of Earth and a surface composed of ice such as methane and nitrogen. Pluto has 5 known moons - Charon, Nix, Hydra, Kerberos, and Styx. In 2015, the New Horizons probe conducted the first flyby of Pluto and provided more details of its geology, moons, and atmosphere.

Story of Pluto
Pluto was discovered in 1930 and was originally classified as the ninth planet from the Sun. However, in 2006 the International Astronomical Union reclassified Pluto as a dwarf planet after the discovery of other large objects in the Kuiper Belt similar to Pluto. Pluto is now the largest known dwarf planet and is composed of ice and rock. It has an eccentric and inclined orbit that takes it from closer to the Sun than Neptune to beyond Neptune's orbit. Pluto has five known moons, the largest being Charon, about half the size of Pluto itself. There continues to be some debate within the scientific community about whether Pluto should regain its status as a true planet.
My piece of Mathematical Art-6ISTITUTO DI ISTRUZIONE SUPERIORE "G.LAPIRA"-
The document summarizes a mathematical art project depicting the TRAPPIST-1 planetary system discovered by NASA in 2017. It consists of a central ultra-red dwarf star called TRAPPIST-1 that is much smaller than our Sun, and 7 planets orbiting it. One planet, TRAPPIST-1e, is similar to Earth and spends 6 days orbiting the star, making it a potentially habitable exoplanet. The artist created the project based on data from the Spitzer Space Telescope to accurately visualize this newly discovered planetary system.
Solar system
This document provides an overview of our solar system through an interactive space odyssey. The journey begins by explaining how the heliocentric model and telescope led to the discovery of the solar system. It then explores the sun's characteristics and classifies the planets as terrestrial, gaseous, or dwarf. Details are given about each planet from Mercury to Neptune before concluding the odyssey.
New Horizon: The First Mission to the Pluto System and the Kuiper Belt
The New Horizons mission launched in 2006 to conduct the first reconnaissance of the Pluto system and Kuiper Belt, sending a spacecraft on a long journey to answer questions about these distant bodies. It swung by Jupiter in 2007 for a gravity assist and will conduct a six-month study of Pluto starting in 2015, with closest approach on July 14th. If approved for an extended mission, it could explore one or two Kuiper Belt objects over a billion miles past Neptune to understand the origins and outskirts of the solar system. The mission seeks to determine where Pluto fits in compared to other solar system objects and to explore how ice dwarf planets and Kuiper Belt bodies have evolved.

New Horizons is an interplanetary space probe launched by NASA in 2006 as part of its New Frontiers program. It was engineered by the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory to study Pluto, its moons, and the Kuiper Belt by performing flybys of objects in the Kuiper Belt. New Horizons launched with 7 scientific instruments to examine Pluto's atmosphere, particles, surface composition, and take high resolution photographs. After a Jupiter gravity assist in 2007, New Horizons conducted a flyby of Pluto in 2015, becoming the first spacecraft to explore the dwarf planet. The mission aims to understand the formation of the Pluto system and early Solar System evolution.
Space and solar system
This document provides an overview of the solar system and related vocabulary for 5th grade science. It defines key terms like sun, solar system, planet, orbit, and moon. It notes that the solar system consists of the sun and objects that orbit it, including seven major planets. It discusses how early scientists like Ptolemy incorrectly believed the Earth was the center of the universe, while later scientists like Alhazen and Copernicus correctly proposed that the Earth and planets instead orbit the sun. It also mentions that Neil Armstrong was the first person to walk on the moon.
Technology the solar system
The document provides information about exploring the solar system through technology and space travel. It discusses the parts of the solar system like planets, moons, asteroids, and comets. It describes different types of space missions including manned missions with astronauts on spaceships and unmanned missions with space probes. Key events discussed include the first unmanned space voyage in 1957 traveling 900 km, the first manned mission in 1961 with Yuri Gagarin orbiting Earth for 108 minutes, and the space probe Voyager 1 launching in 1977 and still traveling over 12 billion km with a message from Earth for potential aliens.
CHAPTER 2 Early Space Missions by Trisha Sagun BEED-IV
Early space missions sent rockets into orbit using either solid or liquid fuel propellants. Satellites were then launched to orbit Earth and gather scientific data. Space probes like Voyager and Pioneer were launched to explore the outer planets, some traveling beyond our solar system. The Galileo probe studied Jupiter and its moons, finding evidence of oceans beneath Europa's icy surface. Project Mercury sent the first Americans into space. Project Gemini worked on connecting spacecraft in orbit. Project Apollo landed the first humans on the Moon in 1969, with a total of six lunar landings before the program ended in 1972.

The SOHO probe was launched in 1995 to study the sun. Pioneer 10 was the first to travel through the asteroid belt and observe Jupiter up close. The Lunar Prospector mapped the moon's surface composition and searched for ice deposits before crashing into the moon in 1999. Juno is currently orbiting Jupiter to study its composition, gravity, and magnetosphere to learn how it formed. The Voyager spacecraft explored Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, discovering a possible ocean on one of Jupiter's moons.

The document provides information about the geocentric and heliocentric models of the solar system. It discusses how ancient Greeks originally believed in the geocentric model where Earth is at the center, and how this view persisted for over 1500 years. Copernicus first suggested the heliocentric model where the Sun is at the center in the early 1500s. Galileo later provided evidence in support of Copernicus by observing the phases of Venus and moons orbiting Jupiter. Today the heliocentric model of a Sun-centered solar system is widely accepted.
Glossary unit 1. the universe and the solar system
This document provides definitions for key terms in astronomy and the solar system. It defines concepts like the geocentric and heliocentric theories, important historical scientists like Copernicus and Galileo, components of the universe like galaxies and nebulae, objects in our solar system like planets, satellites, asteroids and comets, and motions like rotation, revolution and orbits. It also briefly describes each of the eight official planets in our solar system.
Josh and natalie ppt Version 2, other solar systems
Scientists have studied our solar system for years, but it was not until 1995 that the first exoplanets were discovered orbiting other stars. Using infrared telescopes, astronomers have since located over 500 exoplanetary systems. They have found gas giants and terrestrial planets, though gas giants are easier to detect. Astronomers use techniques like observing the wobble of stars to detect the presence of planets.

Journey jupiter 2
Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system located about 500 million miles from the sun. It is composed of gases and cannot be walked on. The core is extremely hot, hotter than the sun, and Jupiter formed 4.5 billion years ago. Previous missions to Jupiter include the Pioneer 10 and 11 probes and the Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft. Jupiter has over 60 moons and was formed along with the sun. The new proposed mission is called Journey Jupiter Jaguar which aims to collect gas samples from Jupiter using lights, wheels, and a robotic arm.

Pluto and kuiper belt
The Kuiper Belt is a disc-shaped region beyond Neptune that extends from 30 to 55 astronomical units from the Sun. It is populated with hundreds of thousands of icy objects larger than 100 km, including the dwarf planet Pluto. The discovery of the Kuiper Belt Object Eris in 1992, which is similar in size to Pluto, led astronomers to reclassify Pluto as a dwarf planet along with Eris. In 2015, NASA's New Horizons spacecraft became the first mission to explore Pluto up close, finding it to be a cold, icy world.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

- 3. What do you know about space exploration? Name a space mission or space program that you know of. Think about it. Then listen and read. We live on the planet Earth. Earth is part of our solar system and it orbits the sun. The sun is at the center of our solar system. Our solar system is a small part of the Milky Way galaxy. Our galaxy is one of many millions of galaxies in the universe. In the past , we could only look at the stars and planets through telescopes. Now, we have he technology to find out about these stars and planets. We can send astronauts into space. We also use robot spacecraft for every long journeys to distant planets in our solar system.
- 4. The Juno Mission The spacecraft Juno left Earth in August 2011.In July 2016, Juno began to orbit around the planet Jupiter. Now , Juno is sending information about Jupiter back to Earth. Jupiter is the biggest planet in our solar system. Like the sun, its atmosphere is made mainly of two gases: hydrogen and helium. Juno´s misión is a one-way trip. It won´t return to Earth. In 2018, It will fly into Jupiter and It will be destroyed. The New Orizons Mission On January 19, 2006, the robot spacecraft New Horizons began its long journey to the very edge of our solar system , just past Neptune. This area is called the Kuiper Belt. It is a ring of icy rocks, some comets and some dwarf planets. One of the dwarf planets is Pluto. New Horizons flew past Pluto in July 2015, and It is now traveling toward other objects in the Kuiper Belt. The New Horizons mission will help us to understand the outer edge of our solar system. 1. Learn new words. Listen and repeat. 2. Why do you think scientists are so interested in finding out about other planets? 3. How can this knowledge help us on Earth?
