Sub-Orbital Space Flights & Satellite Exploration
The Universe: Jupiter – The Giant Planet: In Jupiter, we journey half a billion miles from the earths surface to a mini solar system of over 60 moons rotating around a powerful planet of gas. Its flowing colors and spots hold strange beauty, but contain violent storms and jet streams. Could this big, bright ball of turbulent weather have been the star of Bethlehem? Could one of its moons harbor life beneath its icy crust? Jupiter, the giant planet, is the king of many questions concerning our solar system and could possibly hold the answers.

Voyager 1 Approaching Jupiter Date: 02.03.1979 This is the original Voyager ‘Blue Movie’ (so named because it was built from Blue filter images). It records Voyager 1′s approach during a period of over 60 Jupiter days. Notice the difference in speed and direction of the various zones of the atmosphere. The interaction of the atmospheric clouds and storms shows how dynamic the Jovian atmosphere is. As Voyager 1 approached Jupiter in 1979, it took images of the planet at regular intervals. This sequence is made from 66 images taken once every Jupiter rotation period (about 10 hours). This time-lapse movie uses images taken every time Jupiter longitude 68W passed under the spacecraft. These images were acquired in the Blue filter from Jan. 6 to Feb. 3 1979. The spacecraft flew from 58 million kilometers to 31 million kilometers from Jupiter during that time. This time-lapse movie was produced at JPL by the Image Processing Laboratory in 1979. Image and Description Credit: NASA If you read this far you are also intrigued by the universe. Take a look at my other video titled “Ever Seen the Other Side of Our Moon?”

IMAX and Warner Bros. Pictures production, in cooperation with National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), present a behind-the-scenes look at the STS-125 mission in summer 2009. In this video astronaut Mike Massimino talks space glasses. The Science Museum in London presents Hubble 3D on IMAX, showing now. www.sciencemuseum.org.uk Through the power of IMAX 3D, the film will enable movie-goers to journey through distant galaxies to explore the grandeur and mysteries of our celestial surroundings, and accompany space-walking astronauts as they attempt the most difficult and important tasks in nasa’s history. The film will offer an inspiring and unique look into the Hubble Space Telescope’s legacy and highlight its profound impact on the way we view the universe and ourselves.
