Scientists accept that Jupiter is mainly composed of large quantities of hydrogen and helium. There is some consideration as to whether there is the presence of a solid rocky core that contains elements that are much heavier. The quick rotation of Jupiter pulls the planet into an oblate spheroid. This means that there is a bulging appearance about the planets equator. The outer atmosphere is divided into multiple bands at variant latitudes. Due to the movement of the planet and the location of these bands storms are produced where the bands converge with each other. As the boundaries of one band intersect with the boundaries of another closer band, the resulting interaction produces a hostile climate. The energy produced by the interaction is translated into storm like conditions. The most visible of these storms is the Great Red Spot. This storm was identified as early as the 17th century by astronomers in that age. The Great Red Spot therefore has had the benefit of centuries of inquiry into its existence. This has however produced a highly speculative environment for which recent missions of unmanned craft have provided clarity and guidance.
The most useful data on the great Red Spot of Jupiter have come from the mission of Pioneer 11 (Jupiter 2011). At its widest point the Great Red Spot is at least as three times the diameter of the planet earth, additionally the edge of the spot spins in a counter clockwise direction at an average speed of 225 miles per hour (Jupiter 2011). The storm is not a constant colour but changes hue and the change in hue is linked to two elements. The amount of sulfur and phosphorus in Jupiter's clouds determine the color of the Red Spot.

Star-Gazing: The Story of the Earth in a Moment, as Reflected in the Five Senses The sight or image of the earth is reflected in miniature. It is an orb like the fire of the pinpoints of light before the arm like reaching of the trees spreading out against the graying sky of dusk. These only seemingly small stars gaze cold, gold and twinkling in comparison to the true, great, and
Star Wars culture and its evidence that the cinema has a direct impact on America history through the phenomena that it causes. The writer explores the Star Wars movie from the 1970's and argues that it is possible for a film to create an entire culture of existence as was proven by this movie and its subsequent releases. There were four sources used to complete this paper. Since the beginning
Similarly, the sense of sight would allow us to see animals that we were hunting, giving us a great advantage. The human sense of sight is somewhat unique in the animal kingdom. As humans, we have effective full-color central vision that allows us to accurately perceive information in our immediate environment (Vision1to1). While sense of sight maybe our most important sense when looked at in isolation, human perception is best when
Critic Bloom continues, "But it could be said also that the audience would understand that Romeo, as a lover-hero, really belongs to another religion, the religion of love, which doesn't collide with Christianity or prevent him from confessing to Friar Laurence, but nonetheless has different standards of what's good and bad" (Bloom 2000, 159). Thus, a strong love like Romeo and Julie profess for each other, is like a
And call each man by his name and his father's line, show them all respect. Not too proud now. We should be the ones doing the work. On our backs, from the day we were born, It seems that Zeus has piled on the hardships." With his order clear, he sent his brother off while he went after Nestor, the old commander. He found him beside his black ship and shelter, stretched on a polyurethane
" King Claudius says this about the title character of "Hamlet." He says this to Laertes, to explain why he has not physically punished Hamlet yet, for the killing of Laertes' father Polonius. Thus, the two must conspire to punish Hamlet via a duel with a poisoned sword, says Claudius, because he cannot offend the queen. This quote shows the king's lying nature, as the king cares less for Polonius than
