1.1 Falling into Jupiter. 4 comments. 1.2 Since neutrinos (and dark matter) don't interact with light, so what should happen when light comes across them? 19 comments.
At one point, the two may fall into sync, at which time Jupiter's constant gravitational tugs could accumulate and pull Mercury off course, with 1–2% probability, 3–4 billion years into the future. This could eject it from the Solar System altogether [1] or send it on a collision course with Venus, the Sun, or Earth. [10]
If the Galileo/IUS combination fell free from the orbiter at 27,000 meters (90,000 ft), the RTGs would fall to Earth without melting, and drop into the Atlantic Ocean about 240 kilometers (150 mi) from the Florida coast. On the other hand, if the orbiter broke up at an altitude of 98,700 meters (323,800 ft) it would be traveling at 2,425 meters ...
Galileo was an American robotic space probe that studied the planet Jupiter and its moons, as well as the asteroids Gaspra and Ida.Named after the Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei, it consisted of an orbiter and an entry probe.
[needs update] After entry into the Jupiter system, Europa Clipper will perform a flyby of Ganymede at an altitude of 500 km (310 mi), which will reduce the spacecraft velocity by ~400 m/s (890 mph). This will be followed by firing the main engine at a distance of 11 Rj (Jovian radii), to provide a further ~840 m/s (1,900 mph) of delta-V ...
HGTV home renovation stars Jonathan and Drew Scott – best known as the Property Brothers – are fearful that Trump’s proposed tariffs could send construction costs soaring. The brothers ...
The FSB said the smugglers brought the drugs into Russia from Peru hidden in a vehicle, and that they were members of Colombia's infamous Cali cartel. "570 kilograms of cocaine were seized, ...
The first impact occurred at 20:13 UTC on July 16, 1994, when fragment A of the [comet's] nucleus slammed into Jupiter's southern hemisphere at about 60 km/s (35 mi/s). Instruments on Galileo detected a fireball that reached a peak temperature of about 24,000 K (23,700 °C; 42,700 °F), compared to the typical Jovian cloud-top temperature of ...
