Jupiter is the planet with the largest mass and volume in the solar system.
Jupiter's mass is more than 25 times that of the other seven planets combined.
Just comparing it to the Earth, Jupiter is 31,789 times that of the Earth.
At the same time, Jupiter is also the planet with the fastest rotation speed.
It only takes 9 hours, 50 minutes and 30 seconds for such a huge Jupiter to rotate once.
Due to Jupiter's huge mass and volume, it attracts most of the meteorites, comets and other asteroids in space. and other celestial bodies, so that these celestial bodies are captured by Jupiter's gravity, thereby preventing them from hitting the earth, so Jupiter also has another name for the protector of the earth.
The symbol of Jupiter is not only its huge mass and volume.
The most famous one is the Great Red Spot of Jupiter.
The Great Red Spot of Jupiter is a red oval area located south of the equator, 25,000 kilometers long and about 11,000 kilometers wide.
In fact, it is The Great Red Spot is Jupiter's storm cyclone.
As a gaseous Planet, the Great Red Spot is like a huge whirlpool rotating counter-clockwise.
It is vast and wide enough to accommodate several Earths.
According to scientists who first observed the Great Red Spot of Jupiter in the 17th century, the Great Red Spot has existed for about 350 years.
Its color and The shape changes but never disappears.
The Pioneer spacecraft is actually very far away from Jupiter, but due to the huge size of Jupiter and looking at Jupiter from the perspective of space, the movement of the Great Red Spot on the surface of Jupiter can be clearly seen with the naked eye.
Viewed from a distance, the Great Red Spot looks like a giant eye, slightly darker in the middle and slightly shallower around the edges.
Coupled with its oval shape, it is especially imaginary to the human eye.
In particular, the storm center of the Great Red Spot is constantly moving and changing, making people feel like it is a big eye looking into space.
Looking at this strange sight, Gao Jian couldn't help but express his feelings.
"Hahaha, it is indeed, it is indeed" Moliwen smiled and nodded repeatedly, pointing to the Great Red Spot and said: "Actually, when I first came into contact with the Great Red Spot of Jupiter, I felt the same as you.
I always thought it was an eye.
In fact, , there is a corollary in the scientific community.
Some scientists believe that there once was a civilization similar to the Earth in the solar system.
However, due to the strong attraction of Jupiter, the planet was eventually swallowed by Jupiter.
Perhaps the reason why the Great Red Spot looks like human eyes is because of those.
Let’s cry out unyieldingly from the destroyed lives.”
Speaking of this, Moliwen deliberately winked at Gao Jian.
Gao Jian suddenly burst into laughter after hearing this.
One moment he was discussing issues about the universe, and the next moment he was talking about metaphysics.
This Moliwen also likes to make such jokes during lectures.
Had fun for a while.
Moliwen continued to tell Gao Jian about the many moons of Jupiter.
Su Yichen came to the bridge just halfway through the story.
"chief" "director" Moliwen and Gao Jian stood up quickly, but they called Su Yichen differently.
As the captain of the Pioneer, Su Yichen was naturally the leader, while Gao Jian had been calling him director all these years, and his habit had long been established.
Su Yichen didn't care much about the title.
Anyway, they could call him whatever he wanted.
He smiled and nodded to the two of them.
Su Yichen first asked about Moliwen and Gao Jian's teaching status, and then asked about the Pioneer's route.
"It's almost time.
You should go and rest first."
Su Yichen flipped through the route records.
Everything was normal.
As the captain, he thought for a while and gave the order for them to rest.
Moliwen and Gao Jian did not refuse.

After handing over the authority, they saluted Su Yichen and then went to the cabin below.
Sit in position.
Su Yichen looked at the holographic image on the front.
The Pioneer had already flown near Jupiter and continued towards Pluto.
Su Yichen was very proud of this more than a month's voyage.
Although his Pioneer was not as good as Ike's interstellar exploration spacecraft, it was still the most advanced spacecraft in mankind's history.
Everything has gone smoothly for the Pioneer with Su Li from takeoff to now.
The spacecraft's controllable thermonuclear fusion engine has also withstood the test of environmental changes, which also verified Su Yichen's original design and requirements for the Pioneer.
Now, the Pioneer has reached a high speed of nearly 160 kilometers per second.
This speed has exceeded the Hades and Starry Sky, which were ahead.
If nothing unexpected happens, the Pioneer is expected to catch up with the Russians in 6 days.
Star Sky, and Hades, which crossed the Americans 14 days later. but.
Su Yichen is now considering whether to do this.
"Su Li" "I am here" "Calculate the maximum speed that the Pioneer can reach, and also calculate the course that exceeds the Russian Star Sky and the American Hardy spacecraft without being discovered by the other party."
"Please wait."
Su Li replied that it would have the answer in about a minute.
It told Su Yichen that based on the current maximum output kinetic energy of the Pioneer's controllable thermonuclear fusion engine, the Pioneer can accelerate to a maximum speed of 190 kilometers per second.
To overtake the two Russian and American spacecrafts without being noticed by the other side, the Pioneer must slightly adjust the angle of three units and use the huge Jupiter as a cover to fly over each other before reaching Saturn.
"You mean that after adjusting our course, we can arrive in front of the Hades at the position of Saturn's orbit," Su Yichen confirmed.
"Yes, this is a simulation diagram of course adjustment."
Part of the holographic image on the front turned into a three-dimensional simulation diagram.
There are three bright spots shining on this picture, representing the American Hades, The Russian Star, and their Vanguard.
Although the course purposes of the three spacecrafts are completely consistent, in fact, their respective positions in space flight are not on the same straight line.
If the distances before and after the three spaceships are not discussed, and the parallel distance is used as a reference, then each The minimum distance is 3500 kilometers, and the maximum distance is more than 9000 kilometers.
Although the distances of 3,500 kilometers and 9,000 kilometers seem to be a lot, in fact, based on the current speed of the three spacecrafts, it only takes about 22 to 58 seconds to fly over this distance.
According to the course adjustment plan calculated by Su Li, although the adjusted Pioneer's speed exceeds 190 kilometers per second, it will also be one-third astronomical units farther away.
This is a long journey.
Su Yichen thought for a moment silently: "Be prepared to adjust the course and wait for orders."
"Okay, prepare to adjust course and wait for orders."
Then, Su Yichen asked Su Li to connect with the earth.
As it was sailing in space, the Pioneer was getting farther and farther away from the earth, and normal communication between the two became more and more difficult.
Therefore, when Pioneer flew over Mars, its communication with the earth changed from long-distance radio waves to ultra-long positioning laser communication technology.
This technology uses optical links to convert and then send information to the earth through the earth's artificial satellites.
In Pioneer, The technology used on board is currently the most advanced technology on earth and the most practical long-distance communication technology in space. s: The first update is here today.
