Starting point is 00:00:06 These, what you're hearing right now are the turbulent radio waves captured by Juno as it entered the realm of Jupiter. When the Juno's spacecraft was traveling through space, it was affected by the interplanetary magnetic field, a huge spiraling field that the sun's solar winds carry toward the planets. Jupiter's orbit, it changed environments. First it passed into the bow shock. The boundary where these solar currents are deflected by the furthest part of Jupiter's magnetic field. As it did, it experienced a sonic boom like jolt of turbulence as it encountered the magneto sheath. Perspective from a Jupiter's colorfully banded atmosphere is ever churning, ever changing. This would be our view of the.

Starting point is 00:02:55 colossal belted, colothea, Amalthea, one of its inner moons. Amalthea is a reddish, 110,000 kilometers from the top of Jupiter's clouds, roughly a third of the distance between us and our moon. Jupiter wouldn't be that much. Nature is, of course, the great, or against the black sky. These icy bands may be upwelling atmospheric gases, composed of, giant molecule. This came to the fastest spinning. Pioneer and Voyager flybys of Jupiter. Much about the planet. The two voyagers discovered its 14th through 16th moons, but they found

Starting point is 00:05:09 fewer moons in Jupiter's orbit than in Saturn's. The Voyager's also discovered Jupiter's ring system. As we can see very, how did Jupiter get its rings? How does Jupiter's atmosphere support primitive life forms? Almost 12 of our years for Jupiter orbit of the Roman gods. His name is a fitting one for our largest planet. Traditional sign for his lightning bolt gives the planet its symbol. I don't necessarily like to read the fifths of Jupiter and the sun. also keep

Starting point is 00:08:17 and this is really really interesting I think they also keep two asteroid groups called the Trojans and the Greeks sorry they're all Trojan camp

Starting point is 00:08:42 Trojan asteroid body system so what I did a while back he discovered them it was one of those things that science things that a math body gravitational system location relative to using that field

Starting point is 00:12:30 that field will start to level gases would turn liquid and form a kind of a steamy slush if you can imagine that wow it would be so so compact with pressure it would be like just like the steam in a sauna

Starting point is 00:17:31 or in the hot tub or out of your is actually a reel through the astor spacecraft did in 1978 First, they were flogged. The voyagers entered the gravitational field of Jupiter. ...from the astrophysicists very precisely to hit Jupiter, bringing its thrusters, at just the right moments for just long enough with just under Earth's safely crossed the boundary, kinetic field, an electrically turbulent area called the BAPL Jupiter's inner moon, Jupiter, and its moon.

Starting point is 00:23:24 the magnetic field sets up an electrical current 5. Electricity linking I-O with Jupiter is gradually eroding IOS surface. Break up. Jupiter captures them along with surface particles. Third of instantaneous nuclear reactions going off all the time every second. So you can imagine there's a lot of output, a lot of thrust, in a generally concentric outward direction. Jupiter, just like the Earth, but had a much larger scale,

Starting point is 00:28:02 has this huge, developing magnetic field, protecting it, radiation. The reason may be that Jovian atmosphere, turbulent wind, at least the 300 years, if you've had the fortune to look through it,

Starting point is 00:31:50 And you see Jupiter. Mistake for it had. Because of its... Jupiter has kept its original atmosphere. Jupiter's air is... But it ends with... Sorry, I can't say that. Adjust it too.

Starting point is 00:42:16 It acts like a metal. And beneath this, Superbolts. See, imagine the scene four years ago when the solar system was taking shape. Jupiter 2 and the half gave us our first... few good views of the giant planets. Four largest moons, I.O. Europa, Ganymede, the 17th century. Looking through his telescope gets okay to feel this. The great Jim James says there will be bigotry. It'll be days of peace. In the three in size, Saturn. Here in the picture, it's large over the desolate, icy, low hills of Rhea.

Starting point is 01:12:27 17 or more moons. And I think it does have more than... So you must remember there is nearly, wow, 40 in observation since Saturn. When Galileo studied Saturn with his telescope in 1610, he saw the rings. Saturn's moon, Tethys, about two-thirds the size of Rayo, is seen in the crescent phase left of a far.

Starting point is 01:15:14 the Terminator. Saturn is a gas giant and like its neighbor, larger, Jupiter. But because Saturn's clouds of ammonia snow are not so stormy, it's sometimes called the quiet. Point seven here is actually not that different. Length of the day certainly is to be rotating quite fast. at about 10 hours and 40. The length of its year is 30. Its day is halved in its year 30. I would agree. Imagine going all the way from Mercury to Mars through the asteroid belt and on to Jupiter.

Starting point is 01:19:13 I have to travel almost as far again to reach Saturn. Here you see the sixth planet from high over its north pole. A few impossible, since we are indeed pretty much in its plane. Scientists know that at least 17 moons orbit Saturn, Titan, the biggest, holds a thick to Phoebe, the many particles above Saturn's class. Frigid at the top, the atmosphere grows thicker and hotter, without ever reaching solid, and radiates successive energy, maybe because heavier helium separates from hydrogen. the interior takes about 760 and makes it at least as dense as water. Because of Saturn's

Starting point is 01:22:00 fast spin in flat shape, gravity varies to the equator. As we go once a year, Saturn's just making a slow progression. So for every one of our spins, it completes 1 30th, where we can see the relative perspectives from Earth. Fide icy cloud represents water and ammonia, and then perhaps the very center is not solid but molten. Ring thickness for all these billions of kilometers of kilometer. They reach out to about 73,000 chaotic yet uniformal. Saturn's parallel jet streams and brilliant halo of rings shimmer against the black sky. this enhanced Voyager portrait. Saturn's rings are gigantic. How Saturn's rings

Starting point is 01:26:20 actually came. You did a brilliant job of portraying the, just the magnitude and the all in the loom of the sheer size. Looks like a, uh, something about Saturn contrast with the, to this audiobook and in fact all four books in 2001 I went on a binge, a few years. A few few years ago. Science fiction binge. And I had aifex and it was so beautiful it just added so much depth to the experience and you know objects coalesce these were random atoms last into intrinsically beautiful and majestic and grain magnificently large. Saturn only gas hydrogen or methane and other gases. Saturn's atmosphere is much colder than the top of Jupiter's. We expected this, considering Saturn's much greater distance from the sun.

Starting point is 01:39:01 But farther down, the temperatures rise more than we would expect from solar heating. Unexpectedly, as it probed, its upper clouds of helium as it receives. A little history lesson is that Galileo was probably the first. Years later, an astronomer founded a gap. In 79, Pioneer 11 spotted an F and G rings. You need a vision between
