Description

Jupiter is believed to be the oldest planet in the Solar System. [23] Current models of Solar System formation suggest that Jupiter formed at or beyond the snow line: a distance from the early Sun where the temperature was sufficiently cold for volatiles such as water to condense into solids. [24] The planet began as a solid core, which then accumulated its gaseous atmosphere. As a consequence, the planet must have formed before the solar nebula was fully dispersed. [25] During its formation, Jupiter's mass gradually increased until it had 20 times the mass of the Earth, approximately half of which was made up of silicates, ices and other heavy-element constituents. [23] When the proto-Jupiter grew larger than 50 Earth masses it created a gap in the solar nebula. [23] Thereafter, the growing planet reached its final mass in 3–4 million years. [23] Wahl, S.

I watched a programme about poverty. This was the beginning of 1973. The West was just getting out of the war, out of scarcity, the Sixties had come and gone. People were beginning to worry about the state of the world and they were actually looking out beyond their own little bubble. There was a programme about poverty, a sort of Attenborough type of programme. Raúl O Chametla; Gennaro D’Angelo; Mauricio Reyes-Ruiz; F Javier Sánchez-Salcedo (March 2020).

The Great Red Spot may have been observed as early as 1664 by Robert Hooke and in 1665 by Cassini, although this is disputed. The pharmacist Heinrich Schwabe produced the earliest known drawing to show details of the Great Red Spot in 1831. [153] The Red Spot was reportedly lost from sight on several occasions between 1665 and 1708 before becoming quite conspicuous in 1878. [154] It was recorded as fading again in 1883 and at the start of the 20th century.

He went on to tell us, “One of the aims of The Ted Simon Foundation is to encourage overlanders to travel with the ambition to learn about the places they are travelling through. There is no better way to get to know people and their culture than to live and perhaps even work with them for a while. Most overlanders stumble across opportunities, but I want to encourage them to travel with intent.” He rounded that comment off with this, “The dumbest question I get asked is ‘why did you do your four year journey’? Why would you not want to know what’s going on in the world?” I rode single cylinder BMW Funduro 650 from Germany to the Greek Islands. I’ve had the bike since 1999 and it’s stored in Duisburg in the Ruhr Valley by a friend. Why the Greek islands? I wanted to see what it’s like to sit by the ocean, eat fish and simply, be in Greece. But more than that I wanted to see where it all began. Greece lived up to its expectations in many ways and the islands were a really good introduction into Greek culture. I’d always wanted to visit the Acropolis in Athens; it felt that it was important to do it. This was also an intense time politically for Greece. There was a frenzy going on around the fascist Golden Dawn party murder and MPs being arrested. Support for the party plummeted from 17% to 4%.” Interesting times ahead.

The photos were going to allow Ted the chance to write about things that have never been published.

I was there for 35 years in the end, on this piece of land. I think I lost… I think I sacrificed a fair amount by doing that. The book had become so important in the UK, it was very well known. If I’d lived in the UK then I could probably have used that notoriety, or whatever you want to call it, I could probably have used that to have developed a completely different life to the one that I have actually led. I’m not at all sure it would have been a better one, no idea at all.

It took me a year to write it”, he says. “There was no other way to write it except by writing about myself. That was the only way I could think of going because it was really about my experience. Inevitably, it was about the effect those experiences had on me, so that’s just how it all came out. And, fortunately, I didn’t feel inhibited about doing it, whereas I think, for many people, it would have been very inhibiting. The Great Red Spot is larger than the Earth. [111] Mathematical models suggest that the storm is stable and will be a permanent feature of the planet. [112] However, it has significantly decreased in size since its discovery. Initial observations in the late 1800s showed it to be approximately 41,000km (25,500mi) across. By the time of the Voyager flybys in 1979, the storm had a length of 23,300km (14,500mi) and a width of approximately 13,000km (8,000mi). [113] Hubble observations in 1995 showed it had decreased in size to 20,950km (13,020mi), and observations in 2009 showed the size to be 17,910km (11,130mi). As of 2015 [update], the storm was measured at approximately 16,500 by 10,940km (10,250 by 6,800mi), [113] and was decreasing in length by about 930km (580mi) per year. [111] [114] In October 2021, a Juno flyby mission measured the depth of the Great Red Spot, putting it at around 300–500 kilometres (190–310mi). [115] Based on Jupiter's composition, researchers have made the case for an initial formation outside the molecular nitrogen (N 2) snowline, which is estimated at 20–30AU (3.0–4.5billionkm; 1.9–2.8billionmi) from the Sun, and possibly even outside the argon snowline, which may be as far as 40AU (6.0billionkm; 3.7billionmi). [36] [37] Having formed at one of these extreme distances, Jupiter would then have, over a roughly 700,000-year period, migrated inwards to its current location. [33] [34] during an epoch approximately 2–3million years after the planet began to form. In this model, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune would have formed even further out than Jupiter, and Saturn would also have migrated inwards. [33] Physical characteristics The axial tilt of Jupiter is relatively small, only 3.13°, so its seasons are insignificant compared to those of Earth and Mars. [132]Davis, Andrew M.; Turekian, Karl K. (2005). Meteorites, comets, and planets. Treatise on geochemistry. Vol.1. Elsevier. p.624. ISBN 978-0-08-044720-9. In 1932, Rupert Wildt identified absorption bands of ammonia and methane in the spectra of Jupiter. [160] Three long-lived anticyclonic features called "white ovals" were observed in 1938. For several decades they remained as separate features in the atmosphere, sometimes approaching each other but never merging. Finally, two of the ovals merged in 1998, then absorbed the third in 2000, becoming Oval BA. [161] Radiotelescope research Image of Jupiter and its radiation belts in radio The god Jupiter is the Roman counterpart of Zeus, and he is the principal god of Roman mythology. The Romans originally called Jupiter the "star of Jupiter" ( Iuppiter Stella), as they believed it to be sacred to its namesake god. This name comes from the Proto-Indo-European vocative compound * Dyēu-pəter (nominative: * Dyēus-pətēr, meaning "Father Sky-God", or "Father Day-God"). [234] As the supreme god of the Roman pantheon, Jupiter was the god of thunder, lightning, and storms, and was appropriately called the god of light and sky. [235] Wall, Mike (May 26, 2017).
