Document Summary
Jupiter: jupiter currently has 67 moons and counting, 4 moons galilee are io, europa, ganymede, and calisto. Yellow/ orange color because of the sulfur. Ice cracks that are floating on some liquid that is assumed is water. Old moon with a lot of craters. Distance from jupiter 1888000km: habitable zone. There are habitable zones for planets and galaxies. 1420 megahertz the frequency of the astronomy radio telescope. Because of this frequency we can know that the galaxy spirals and when new stars are forming. Having our potential home near the black hole is violent and is not able to hold life. New star formation: has huge gas and dust cloud and cool temperature. Kepler was looking for new planet potential was within the habitable zone of the milky way. (displayed above) Within the black hole there is an event horizon and we cannot determine what is occurring inside.
