Jupiter is one of the eight planets in the solar system. Jupiter is the fifth planet to the Sun as well as the largest planet in the solar system. It’s a massive planet, and while it’s only a thousandth the mass of the sun, it’s twice and a half as much as the rest of the solar system combined. Its main composition is hydrogen, but helium, which is only a tenth of a molecule, makes up a quarter of its mass. It may have a rocky core and heavy elements, but no solid surface that can be clearly defined.
Jupiter has the appearance of an oblate sphere due to its rapid rotation. The atmosphere is divided into zones and bands depending on latitude with turbulence and storms at each other’s boundaries. The most striking example is the Great Red Spot, a massive storm that has not stopped since it was first seen by telescopes in the 17th century. Jupiter is also surrounded by faint planetary rings and a powerful magnetosphere, including four galilean moons discovered in 1610 and 79 as of December 2019. Ganymede is the largest, with a diameter larger than mercury of the planets.

The book provides a concise and expert overview of the history of our observations of this largest of planetary spheres, as well as reports on the much-anticipated initial findings from the Juno space probe. Also incorporating other recent research that is not widely available, it is an accessible and engaging introduction to planetary science that will deepen our knowledge both of this magnificent planet and of our own place in the solar system. Moreover, the scientific study of Jupiter is at a watershed: NASA’s Juno space probe has entered orbit about Jupiter to investigate the planet, while information gleaned from improved telescopes and other robotic explorers in space continues to improve our understanding of the planet’s origin, evolution, and composition.
Majestic and untwinkling, Jupiter is the grandest of all planets. It is the largest planet in our solar system and among the brightest objects in the night sky. It shines with a noble, steady luster, and its calming presence has inspired humans for centuries. Jupiter was the “beloved star” of the first serious observers of the planets, the ancient Sumerians and Babylonians, and has inspired poetic utterances from eminent writers such as William Wordsworth and Walt Whitman. It also continues to inspire contemporary astronomers and stargazers, and this beautifully illustrated volume brings our understanding of Jupiter right up to date.
