Jupiter LII 1970-01-01
Jupiter LII, or Jupiter 52, is one of the moons of Jupiter. It is classified as an irregular moon, which means it has a non-spherical shape and orbits the planet at great distances, often in eccentric or inclined paths. The moons of Jupiter are categorized into various groups based on their orbits and physical characteristics. Jupiter LII is part of a set of moons discovered during the early observational period of the gas giant.
Jupiter LV 1970-01-01
Jupiter LV, often referred to in specific contexts, could relate to several different aspects depending on the field of discussion. Here are a few potential meanings: 1. **Jupiter Launch Vehicles**: This could refer to the family of launch vehicles designed for space missions. They might be involved in carrying satellites to orbit or delivering payloads for exploratory missions.
Jupiter LXIII 1970-01-01
Jupiter LXIII is a designation for a moon of Jupiter, also known by its more common name, "Leda." It was discovered in 1974 by a team of astronomers led by Charles Kowal at the Palomar Observatory. Leda is one of the many irregular moons of Jupiter, which are thought to be captured objects rather than bodies that formed in orbit around the planet.
Jupiter LXIV 1970-01-01
Jupiter LXIV, also known as S/2018 J1, is a moon of Jupiter that was discovered in 2018. It is one of the many irregular moons that orbit the gas giant. Jupiter LXIV is relatively small and has an irregular shape, consistent with other moons in this category. It orbits at a considerable distance from Jupiter and has a highly inclined and eccentric orbit. The designation "LXIV" indicates that it is the 64th known moon of Jupiter.
Jupiter LXVI 1970-01-01
Jupiter LXVI, also known as "Thyone," is one of the many moons of Jupiter. It was discovered in 2003 and is part of the group of moons that are thought to have originated as captured objects from the Kuiper Belt or other regions of space rather than having formed in place around Jupiter. Thyone is one of the outer irregular moons of Jupiter, characterized by its distant and eccentric orbit.
Jupiter LXVII 1970-01-01
Jupiter LXVII, also known as S/2011 J 1, is a small natural satellite of Jupiter. It is one of several moons that orbit the gas giant and was discovered in 2011. Like many of Jupiter's smaller moons, it is irregularly shaped and belongs to a group of outer moons that are thought to be captured asteroids or debris. Jupiter LXVII has a diameter of approximately 2 kilometers (about 1.
Jupiter LXVIII 1970-01-01
Jupiter LXVIII, also known as S/2020 J1, is one of the many moons of Jupiter. It was discovered in 2020 and is part of a group of irregular moons that orbit the planet at great distances and with varying inclinations. This moon is relatively small and orbits Jupiter in a prograde direction, meaning it moves in the same direction as Jupiter's rotation.
Ellerman bombs 1970-01-01
Ellerman bombs are a type of astrophysical phenomenon associated with flares occurring in the lower solar atmosphere, particularly in the chromosphere and transition region of the Sun. They are characterized by localized, explosive bursts of energy and are believed to be related to the magnetic activity and interactions in the Sun. Ellerman bombs typically manifest as temporary brightenings in the H-alpha solar spectrum, indicating significant energy release and associated with the presence of magnetic reconnection events.
Lahaina Noon 1970-01-01
Lahaina Noon is a phenomenon that occurs in certain tropical locations, notably in Hawaii, when the sun is directly overhead at noon. During this time, which typically occurs twice a year, objects cast little to no shadow because the sun is positioned at a 90-degree angle relative to the ground. In Lahaina, Maui, the term specifically refers to the days when the sun is directly overhead at noon, which generally falls around May 23 and July 21 each year.
Ersa (moon) 1970-01-01
Ersa is one of the natural satellites of the planet Haumea, which is a dwarf planet located in the Kuiper Belt. Discovered in 2005, Haumea is known for its elongated shape and rapid rotation. Ersa is one of the smaller moons of Haumea and was discovered in 2011. The moon is named after the goddess of the dawn in Hawaiian mythology.
Hermippe (moon) 1970-01-01
Hermippe is one of the irregular moons of Jupiter. It was discovered in 2003 as part of a project to search for new moons around the gas giant. Hermippe is relatively small and orbits Jupiter at a considerable distance, following a prograde orbit. The moon is named after Hermippe, a figure in Greek mythology.
Herse (moon) 1970-01-01
Herse is one of the moons of Jupiter, named after a character from Greek mythology. It was discovered in 1979 by a team of astronomers led by Charles Kowal. Herse is one of the larger moons of Jupiter and is classified as part of the Ananke group, which consists of retrograde irregular satellites that likely formed from captured asteroids. Herse has a moderately eccentric and inclined orbit around Jupiter, and its surface is thought to be composed primarily of water ice and rock.
S/2021 J 6 1970-01-01
S/2021 J 6 is the designation given to a natural satellite, or moon, of Jupiter. It was officially discovered in 2021 and is one of several irregular moons orbiting the giant planet. This particular moon was identified as part of a group of similar moons that orbit at significant distances from Jupiter and have relatively eccentric and inclined orbits. These types of moons are believed to have been captured by Jupiter's gravity rather than having formed in place.
S/2022 J 1 1970-01-01
S/2022 J 1 is a designation for a moon (also referred to as a natural satellite) of Jupiter. It is one of the smaller moons discovered orbiting the gas giant. The designation follows a naming convention where "S" indicates it is a moon, "2022" refers to the year of its discovery, and "J" symbolizes it is associated with Jupiter. The "1" indicates that it is the first moon recorded in that particular year.
S/2022 J 2 1970-01-01
S/2022 J 2 is a designation for a small moon of Jupiter. It was discovered in 2022 and is part of the group's moons that also includes several other small, irregularly shaped satellites. The designation typically follows the format where "S/" refers to "satellite," followed by the year of discovery and the letter "J" for Jupiter. The number "2" indicates that it is the second moon discovered in that year for Jupiter.
Sinope (moon) 1970-01-01
Sinope is one of the outer moons of Jupiter, belonging to its larger group of irregular moons. It was discovered in 1914 by the American astronomer E. E. Barnard and is named after Sinope, a figure from Greek mythology who was a nymph loved by the river god Asopus. Sinope is characterized by its relatively large size among Jupiter's irregular moons, with a diameter of about 38 kilometers (24 miles).
Taygete (moon) 1970-01-01
Taygete is one of the natural satellites of Saturn. It was discovered in 1980 by astronomer Harold Reitsema and its designation is Saturn IX. Taygete is classified as a member of the Inuit group of Saturnian moons, which are characterized by their prograde orbits and similar orbital parameters. Taygete has a relatively small size, with a diameter of about 15 kilometers (9.3 miles).
Thebe (moon) 1970-01-01
Thebe is one of the moons of Jupiter. It is classified as a irregular satellite and is part of the group known as the Himalia group, which consists of several small, irregularly shaped moons that share similar orbits. Thebe was discovered in 1980 by the Voyager 1 spacecraft team, and it is named after a figure from Greek mythology. Thebe has an irregular shape and measures approximately 100 kilometers (about 62 miles) in diameter.
Thelxinoe (moon) 1970-01-01
Thelxinoe is one of the natural satellites of Jupiter. It was discovered in 2001 and is part of a group of moons that are known as the Carme group, which are irregularly shaped and have somewhat retrograde orbits. Thelxinoe is relatively small, with an estimated diameter of about 26 kilometers (16 miles). The moon is named after a figure from Greek mythology, specifically one of the Oceanids, who are the nymphs of the sea.
Solar radio emission 1970-01-01
Solar radio emission refers to the radio waves emitted by the Sun. This phenomenon occurs due to various processes and activities on the solar surface and in the solar atmosphere, particularly in relation to solar flares, sunspots, and coronal mass ejections. Solar radio emissions can provide valuable information about the physical processes occurring in the Sun, its magnetic field, and its interactions with the solar wind.
