The timeline of discovery of Solar System planets and their natural satellites charts the progress of the discovery of new bodies over history. Each object is listed in chronological order of its discovery (multiple dates occur when the moments of imaging, observation, and publication differ), identified through its various designations (including temporary and permanent schemes), and the ...
The first probe to explore the outer planets was Pioneer 10, which flew by Jupiter in 1973. Pioneer 11 was the first to visit Saturn, in 1979. The Voyager probes performed a Grand Tour of the outer planets following their launch in 1977, with both probes passing Jupiter in 1979 and Saturn in 1980–1981.

In the MUL.APIN, Nibiru is identified as Jupiter: When the stars of Enlil have been finished, one big star – although its light is dim – divides the sky in half and stands there: that is, the star of Marduk (MUL d AMAR.UD), Nibiru (né-bé-ru), Jupiter (MUL SAG.ME.GAR); it keeps changing its position and crosses the sky.
Weather permitting, Jupiter will not only be brighter than most other stars and planets in the evening sky, but will also be visible all night long. Jupiter, ascending: See our solar system’s ...
Once every 53.5 days, NASA's Juno probe screams over Jupiter's cloud, capturing stunning images in the process.
