Still, we can ask--and answer--some fundamental questions about them) by David J.

One late, giant collision with Earth is the likely origin of the Moon" by Robin M.

To understand how they were formed, we must study in detail the giants closest to us: Jupiter and Saturn) by Tristan Guillot; "Water on Mars" (Mars is cold enough that its meager water content appears to exist today simply in frozen and gas phases. But as recent evidence suggests, that may not have always been the case) by Bruce M. Jakosky and Michael T. Mellon; "A Look at the Galilean Satellites after the Galileo Mission" (From volcanic eruptions hotter than those typically found on Earth to ocean sandwiches with water trapped between ice layers, the Galileo mission revealed fascinating phenomena on Jupiter's four largest moons) by Torrence V.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - The idea of having a conference in Padova describing the results obtained by the Galileo spacecraft and the characteristics of the Telescopio Nazionale Galileo began in 1995, when a number of colleagues from both sides of the Atlantic began exchanging suggestions and ideas. Looking at the schedules of the two teams, it was clear that the beginning of January 1997 would be a good time to hold the conference; these dates also luckily coincided with the dates of the memorable discovery of the Medicean moons of Jupiter by Galileo Galilei in Padova in 1610. To emphasize these three elements, the name of the conference was then proposed and accepted by the involved parties: NASA and JPL in the United States, the German space agency DARA, the University of Padova, and the Astronomical Observatory in Padova. I wish to recall a few key dates: In January 1610, Galileo--from his house in Padova--had the first hint of three and then four stars connected to Jupiter. In December 1995, the probe released from the spacecraft entered the atmosphere of Jupiter, and the spacecraft entered orbit about Jupiter. These extraordinary events were followed at JPL by a number of representatives of many institutions and space agencies. In June 1996, the Telescopio Nazionale Galileo was inaugurated by the King of Spain Juan Carlos I, in the presence of Prof. Luigi Berlinguer, Minister of University and Science. These ceremonies occurred as the spacecraft started touring the moon Europa.
