Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Jupiter, the giant of the Solar System, is a world of extremes: immense, turbulent, lacking a true solid surface, and wrapped in an atmosphere dominated by clouds, powerful winds, cyclones, and structures that are still being studied today.Volume 09 of the Astronomy Course takes readers on a journey of discovery through Jupiter with an accessible, visual, and scientifically rigorous approach, designed to make even the most complex concepts easy to understand.From the planet's internal structure to the composition of its atmosphere, from its famous cloud bands to the Great Red Spot, this volume explores the physical characteristics that make Jupiter unique. Considerable attention is also devoted to its intense magnetic field, rapid rotation, the polar regions observed by the Juno mission, and its system of satellites, with particular focus on the four large Galilean moons.The text is enriched with diagrams, infographics, size comparisons, educational maps, and explanatory images, helping readers grasp astronomical phenomena and data quickly and clearly.Among the topics covered are: - Jupiter's size, mass, density, and gravity;- atmosphere and chemical composition;- bands, zones, vortices, and storms;- the Great Red Spot;- internal structure and metallic hydrogen;- magnetic field and magnetosphere;- rotation and atmospheric dynamics;- polar regions and cyclones observed by Juno;- comparison between Jupiter and Earth;- the main natural satellites;- Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto;- origin and evolution of the Jovian system;- space missions dedicated to the exploration of Jupiter.Designed for students, astronomy enthusiasts, teachers, and curious readers, this book can be read either as part of the complete Astronomy Course series or as a stand-alone volume devoted to the largest planet in the Solar System.A journey through clouds, storms, moons, and mysteries that remain unsolved, offering a closer look at one of the most fascinating worlds in our cosmic neighborhood.Volume 09 - JUPITERAtmosphere, Structure and Moons of the Gas GiantProf. Antonio Loiacono.…
