The New Outer Satellites of Jupiter . A text version of this press release can be found here . Introduction University of Hawaii astronomers announce the discovery of 11 new satellites of Jupiter. These new satellites, when added to the eleven discovered the previous year by the Hawaii team, bring the total of known Jupiter satellites to 39. Jupiter now has more known satellites than any other ...

Java Jupiter by Akkana Peck This Java applet shows the positions of the four Galilean satellites of Jupiter, their shadows, and the Great Red Spot, currently displayed at system II longitude 80, as reported on 10/21/2001 on the ALPO Jupiter list; some years one can find its location at the ALPO Jupiter section. To show the positions of the moons at a different time, edit the date in the text ...

Jupiter has four large moons and dozens of small ones. Galileo first discovered the four largest moons of Jupiter, Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto in 1610, using a 20-power telescope; these moons are known as the Galilean moons.

Jupiter satellite events and GRS times for 2002 Following are times for the shadow, transit, occultation, and eclipse events for Jupiter's four major satellites in 2002. All times are in Universal Time (UT). Jupiter is in conjunction with the sun on 20 July, so some of these events are of theoretical interest only. All of these tables were generated with Guide 8.0 , which provides a pretty ...

The Galileo spacecraft has captured the highest-resolution images yet of three Jupiter's four innermost moons, Thebe, Amalthea, and Metis. ITviews of Amalthea show for the first time that a bright surface feature named Ida is a streak of bright material, about 50 long. ...

U. S. CORPS OF TOPOGRAPHICAL ENGINEERS Checking Greenwich Time Using Jupiter's Moons Callisto, Europa, Io and Ganymede Approximate Sidereal Times of the Occultations of Jupiter's Satellites by Jupiter, and of the Transit of the Satellites and their Shadows over the Disc of the Planet. These phenomena are inserted in order to apprise Astronomers when they are about to happen, as observations of ...
