Jupiter, the largest planet in the solar system… It has the second largest number of satellites following Saturn. Jupiter’s gravity… Catch meteorites and asteroids wandering around the solar system to reduce threats to Earth. The last remaining blue ocean space. The United States, Russia, China, and India have opened their eyes to the value of space early on and are pioneering that space. Korea is now also jumping into space development in earnest. We try to tell the story of the unknown universe and its vast and vast world in a fun way so that anyone, from children to adults, can easily understand. Jupiter.

Located between 600 million and 900 million kilometers from Earth (the distance varies depending on the location of Earth and Jupiter’s orbit), the planet is 11 times Earth’s diameter and 318 times Earth’s mass. Jupiter, the largest planet in the Solar System, orbits the Sun for 12 years and rotates for 9 hours and 55 minutes. Of the planets in the solar system, Jupiter has the second most moons following Saturn. A total of 95 moons of Jupiter have been discovered so far. That’s 95 moons on Jupiter. Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars are rocky planets, while Jupiter is a gas planet. Jupiter’s atmospheric composition is 89.9% hydrogen, 10.2% helium, and the rest is methane and ammonia. Exploration of Jupiter is as diverse as that of the sun and Mars. In 1979, NASA’s Voyager 1 and 2 probes passed Jupiter and explored the planet’s moons. In 1992, NASA’s Ulysses approached the end of Jupiter’s atmosphere to investigate the solar wind and magnetic field. In 1995, NASA’s Galileo spacecraft approached Jupiter and observed atmospheric structure, temperature distribution, and clouds. In 2000, NASA, the European Space Agency (ESA), and the Italian Space Agency (ASI) collaborated on The Cassini-Huygens probe, and in 2007, NASA’s New Horizons probe approached Jupiter’s orbit. Also in 2016, NASA’s Juno probe investigated the atmosphere and magnetic field near Jupiter. In April of this year, ESA sent the Jupiter probe Juice, which will arrive at Jupiter eight years later in 2031 and explore three moons, including Europa, Ganymede, and Carlitos, which are covered in ice. Next year, NASA’s Europa-Clipper probe will be launched to uncover the secrets of Jupiter. NASA’s Juno probe is approaching Jupiter. Photo courtesy of Nasa? Jupiter is a very important planet to Earth. Jupiter can be seen as a planet that protects the Earth. If Jupiter did not exist, life on Earth would not have flourished as it is today, or the planet Earth itself might have disappeared. The reason is because of Jupiter’s strong gravity, which is 2.5 times stronger than Earth’s. As a result, numerous meteorites wandering in the solar system are captured by Jupiter’s gravity and come closer to Earth. Between the Sun and Jupiter, there are Lagrange L4 and L5 points where gravity balances. There are a huge number of asteroids gathered here, which is called the ‘Trojan asteroid group’. If there was no Jupiter, many of those asteroids would have come to Earth. Comets and asteroids approaching from the outskirts of the solar system are also caught by Jupiter’s gravity and do not reach the Earth, so Jupiter acts as a shield and protects the Earth. Jupiter’s powerful magnetic field also protects the Earth. This magnetic field blocks the solar wind, significantly reducing the amount of solar radiation reaching Earth. In addition to this, Jupiter’s magnetic field protects the Earth’s atmosphere and helps Earth’s creatures to sustain life. Now, scientists are paying attention to Jupiter’s moons. Among the 95 moons, there is one that has the potential for life, and that is Europa. Underneath this icy moon, there is a huge ocean, and the scientific community speculates that life may exist. That’s why NASA’s Europa-Clipper probe, due to launch next year, is expected to unlock those secrets.
