Launchers have included Jupiter C / Juno I, Juno II, various Thor rockets such as Thor-Able, Scout, various Delta and Delta II rockets ( see Delta rocket family ), and Pegasus.

The hydrogen and helium in " traditional " gas giants like Jupiter and Saturn constitutes most of the planet, whereas the hydrogen / helium only makes up an outer envelope on Uranus and Neptune which are sometimes called ice giants, as they are mostly composed of water, ammonia, and methane molten ices.

Space probes have been placed into orbit around all the five planets known to the ancients: first Mars ( Mariner 9, 1971 ), then Venus ( Venera 9, 1975 ; but landings on Venus and atmospheric probes were performed even earlier ), Jupiter ( Galileo, 1995 ), Saturn ( Cassini / Huygens, 2004 ), and most recently Mercury ( MESSENGER, March 2011 ), and have returned data about these bodies and their natural satellites.

According to Josep Puig, the Andalusian astronomer Ibn Bajjah proposed that the Milky Way was made up of many stars which almost touched one another and appeared to be a continuous image due to the effect of refraction from sublunary material, citing his observation of the conjunction of Jupiter and Mars on 500 AH ( 1106 / 1107 AD ) as evidence.

Following pressure by the American Rocket Society, the National Science Foundation, and the International Geophysical Year, military interest picked up and in early 1955 the Army and Navy were working on Project Orbiter, two competing programs, the army's which involved using a Jupiter C rocket, and the civilian / Navy Vanguard Rocket, to launch a satellite.

4179 Toutatis / 1989 AC ( ) is an Apollo, Alinda, and Mars-crosser asteroid with a chaotic orbit produced by a 3: 1 resonance with the planet Jupiter, a 1: 4 resonance with the planet Earth, and frequent close approaches to the terrestrial planets, including Earth.

Due to its low density and irregular shape, the escape velocity at the surface points of Amalthea closest to and furthest from Jupiter is no more than 1 m / s and dust can easily escape from it after, e. g. micrometeorite impacts ; this dust forms the Amalthea Gossamer Ring.

This arrangement was issued on their second LP, In the Wake of Poseidon, although for copyright reasons it was renamed " The Devil's Triangle " and Robert Fripp claimed authorship, with Holst receiving no composer credit. A third progressive-rock band, Manfred Mann's Earth Band, performed an arrangement of " Jupiter " with lyrics which they entitled " Joybringer ". Black Metal / Viking Metal band Bathory arranged a section of " Jupiter " as the melody of the song " Hammerheart ", from the album Twilight of the Gods.

In Latin the Genitive or possessive case of Jupiter was Iovis / Jovis and thus in most Romance languages it became the word for Thursday: Italian giovedì, Spanish jueves, French jeudi, Catalan dijous, and Romanian joi.

Since the Roman god Jupiter was identified with Thunor ( Norse Thor in northern Europe ), most Germanic languages name the day after this god: Torsdag in Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish, Hósdagur / Tórsdagur in Faroese, Donnerstag in German or Donderdag in Dutch.

Steady radiation which was presumably of thermal origin was observed from Venus at 3.15 and 9.4 cm, and from Mars and Jupiter at 3.15 cm in 1956 ( Mayer, McCullough, and Sloanaker, 1958, A, B, C ), and from Saturn at 3.75 cm in 1957 ( Drake and Ewen, 1958 ).

His observations on eclipses were still used centuries later in Simon Newcomb's investigations on the motion of the moon, while his other observations inspired Laplace's Obliquity of the Ecliptic and Inequalities of Jupiter and Saturn.

In Gnostic cosmology, the 7 letters spelling its name represent each of the 7 classic planets — Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn.

In his Rudolphine Tables ( 1627 ), Johannes Kepler used a prototype of year zero which he labeled Christi ( Christ ) between years labeled Ante Christum ( Before Christ ) and Post Christum ( After Christ ) on the mean motion tables for the Sun, Moon, Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Venus and Mercury.

The five major planets are associated with and even named after the elements: Jupiter 木星 is Wood ( 木 ), Mars 火星 is Fire ( 火 ), Saturn 土星 is Earth ( 土 ), Venus 金星 is Metal ( 金 ), and Mercury 水星 is Water ( 水 ).

In both the book and movie 2001, astronaut and scientist David Bowman is on a mission to track the source of an alien artifact found on the moon, which leads to a moon around the planet Jupiter ( in the novel, Saturn ); the story takes place in the year 2001.

Jupiter, Saturn with its ring system, Uranus, and Neptune

There are four gas giants in the Solar System: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.

Jupiter and Saturn consist mostly of hydrogen and helium, with heavier elements making up between 3 and 13 percent of the mass.

Uranus and Neptune have distinctly different interior compositions from Jupiter and Saturn.

:" We worship ," replied Hengist, " our country gods, Saturn and Jupiter, and the other deities that govern the world, but especially Mercury, whom in our language we call Woden and to whom our ancestors consecrated the fourth day of the week, still called after his name Wodensday.

Water ice would be very useful and is widespread on the moons of Jupiter and Saturn:

Kepler claimed to have had an epiphany on July 19, 1595, while teaching in Graz, demonstrating the periodic conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter in the zodiac ; he realized that regular polygons bound one inscribed and one circumscribed circle at definite ratios, which, he reasoned, might be the geometrical basis of the universe.

He found that each of the five Platonic solids could be uniquely inscribed and circumscribed by spherical orbs ; nesting these solids, each encased in a sphere, within one another would produce six layers, corresponding to the six known planets — Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn.

Among the Laboratory's current major active projects are the Mars Science Laboratory mission ( which includes the Curiosity rover ), the Cassini – Huygens mission orbiting Saturn, the Mars Exploration Rovers ( Spirit and Opportunity ), the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, the Dawn mission to the dwarf planet Ceres and asteroid Vesta, the Juno spacecraft en route to Jupiter, the Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory ( GRAIL ) mission to the Moon, the Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array ( NuSTAR ) X-ray telescope, and the Spitzer Space Telescope.

Originally, a Mariner 11 and Mariner 12 were planned as part of the Mariner program, however, due to congressional budget cuts, the mission was scaled back to be a flyby of Jupiter and Saturn, and renamed the Mariner Jupiter-Saturn probes.

" It is a more populated and wealthier system than the Jupiter and Saturn Federations.

Earth is surrounded by a magnetosphere, as are the other planets with intrinsic magnetic fields: Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.

Initially, Saturn probably had a tilt closer to that of Jupiter ( 3. 1 °).

In order of increasing distance from the Sun, they are the four terrestrials, Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars, then the four gas giants, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.

Venus, Mercury and the outer planets Mars, Jupiter and Saturn were all identified by Babylonian astronomers.

Johannes de Muris was among the team " of three who drew up a treatise explaining the plague of 1348 by the conjunction of Saturn, Jupiter, and Mars in 1341 " Clement VI's physicians advised him that surrounding himself with torches would block the plague.

The most notable planetary rings known in the Solar System are those around Saturn, but the other three gas giants of the Solar System ( Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune ) also possess ring systems of their own.
