Document Summary
Spectrocity the way light reflects off substances gives us an indication of what the element is. First spacecraft - pioneer 10 and 11 nasa mission that was sent to take early images of fly-bys of other planets, did not go into orbit of the planets (pioneer probes) These were the first glimpses of an accurate perception of jupiter, jupiter is quite bright. Confirmed the fluid nature of jupiter(cid:859)s outer layers powerful magnetic field, therefore powerful radiation belt around it trapped by the magnetic field radiation will not distort radio signals. The top layer of jupiter is moving and active, not static because of the active dynamic weather. The images are not much better than you can capture with a modern backyard telescope. Jupiter system flyby took 8 years to get to jupiter. Saturn flyby: neptunian system flyby, uranus flyby. Photo: gif of jupiter as approached by voyager 1 (voyager. jpl. nasa. gov)
