If Jupiter were hollow, more than one thousand Earths could fit inside

Jupiter possesses 28 known satellites, four of which - Callisto, Europa, Ganymede and Io - were observed by as long ago as 1610

At great depths within Jupiter, the pressure is so great that the hydrogen atoms are broken up and the electrons are freed so that the resulting atoms consist of bare protons

Colorful latitudinal bands, atmospheric clouds and storms illustrate Jupiter's dynamic weather systems

emissions, similar to Earth's, were observed in the polar regions of Jupiter

The auroral emissions appear to be related to material from that spirals along magnetic field lines to fall into Jupiter's atmosphere



Himalia, A Moon of Jupiter
Statistics and annotated pictures.

Himalia Jupiter VI Himalia [hih-MAL-yuh] is the tenth known satellite of Jupiter and is the brightest of Jupiter's outer satellites

Himalia is most likely an irregularly shaped asteroid that was captured into orbit around Jupiter

In mythology, Himalia was a nymph who bore three sons of Zeus (Jupiter)

Perrine Date of discovery1904 Mass (kg)9.56e+18 Mass (Earth = 1)1.5997e-06 Equatorial radius (km)93 Equatorial radius (Earth = 1)1.4581e-02 Mean density (gm/cm^3)2.8 Mean distance from Jupiter (km)11, 480, 000 Rotational period (days)0.4 Orbital period (days)250.5662 Mean orbital velocity (km/sec)3.34 Orbital eccentricity0.1580 Orbital inclination (degrees)27.63 Escape velocity (km/sec)0.117 Visual geometric albedo0.03 Magnitude (Vo)14.84 Himalia The brightest of Jupiter's outer satellites, Himalia, was captured and resolved, for the first time, in a series of narrow angle images taken on December 19, 2000 from a distance of 4.4 million kilometers during the brief period when Cassini's attitude was stabilized by thrusters instead of reaction wheels

It is likely that Himalia is not spherical: it is believed to be a body captured into orbit around Jupiter and as such, is likely to be an irregularly shaped asteroid

SPACE.com -- More Moons Around Earth? Its Not So Loony
Article describing the asteroid Cruithne, and orbital motions at gravitational
balance points in space that temporarily pull asteroids into Earth orbits.

Most orbit the sun in a belt between Mars and Jupiter, but a handful cross Earth's orbital path -- an imaginary curve through space along which our planet travels around the sun


Europa
Overview with data, text, images, links.

Europa Jupiter II tells the story of the Galileo spacecraft probe to Jupiter`s moon, Europa

: 670, 900 km from Jupiter : 3138 km : 4.80e22 kg was a Phoenician princess abducted to Crete by Zeus, who had assumed the form of a white bull, and by him the mother of Minos

And most interestingly, it as it passes thru Jupiter's massive magnetic field

Uranus - Astronomy for Kids
Offers details about the location, the visibility, the size and the rings of this
planet.

We had hoped to see some color bands like there are on Jupiter or at least some faint colors, but the face the planet presents doesn't seem to vary, regardless of how close or far away from it you are

Uranus, unlike Jupiter or Saturn, does not seem to have a solid core of any kind
