Jupiter's Storms and Space Exploration

Reorder the following

• Space telescope launched

• Alan Sheppard leaves Earth's atmosphere

• Satellite launched for communication

• Moon landing by NASA

• Rovers land on Mars

How is it that the storm, the great red eye of Jupiter, is known to be going on for 300 years?

• Jupiter is so big, even the first telescopes could view it

• There have been cameras recording for 300 years

• We traveled back in time to view the storm

Voyager 1 reached Jupiter in March 1979, with its closest approach occurring on March 5, 1979, and Voyager 2 reached Jupiter in July 1979, with its closest approach on July 9, 1979. What did the scientist looking at Io see?

• The moon Io of Jupiter has its own moon

• Jupiter's moon Io is volcanically active

• The moon Io experiences phases like our moon

• The Magnetic field of Jupiter had destroyed Voyager

Why is Jupiter difficult to study up close?

• Jupiter acts like a sun and fuses

• Jupiter has a huge magnetic field that scrambles computer data

• Jupiter has so much gravity it sucks in the probes

• Jupiter revolves too fasst to see

The pictures from Juno indicate more than stars because

• There is life on Jupiter

• Camera is affected by something that isn't star light

• Juno is travelling to fast so the pictures are blurry

Could the moon Io be creating the magnetic ions around Jupiter? Give your hypothesis as to HOW.
