Does Jupiter Have Any Satellites

If Jupiter had a satellite the size of our moon in orbit outside the orbit of Callisto. .?
What would you predict for density and surface characteristics?
Our moon is less than three of the four large satellites of Jupiter, but bigger than Europe – So it fits perfectly into the family. (3660 km diameter Io, Europa 3121, Ganymede 5262, Callisto 4820, our moon in 3476). The satellites of Jupiter are most of the planet less dense (Io 3.528 grams per cubic centimeter, 3014 in Europe, 1.942 Ganymede Callisto 1,834). This is consistent with them a higher proportion of ice farther from the planet. It is also consistent with them are formed in the outer solar system unlike the Moon (SG 3,346). The three inner moons are in orbital resonance, that deforms by gravity and results in smoother surfaces. Callisto does not have this form of domestic heating and saturated with craters. There are some other features as the small, dark patches, believed to be the result of cryovolcanism. Hence, its large moon, Callisto hypothetical outside would probably have a lower density – For example 1.7 or less and a cratered surface.

Satellites Of Jupiter (space Science Series) $173.1 The findings of Voyager have brought Jupiter’s moons out from the shadows. Now as much of interest to geologists as to astronomers, these satellites are brought under closer scrutiny by more than 50 international authorities in this new volume. Here is not only the latest research on thermal evolution, surface composition, cratering time scales, and other subjects; but also key chapters focusing on the satellite lo’s volcanic eruptions, thermodynamcis, phase composition and more. |

Jupiter: A Novel $24.65 DIVbA “leading light of hard SF and space advocacy” (iBooklist/i) turns his sights to the largest planet in our solar system/bBRGrant Archer merely wanted to study astrophysics, to work quietly as an astronomer on the far side of the Moon. But the forces of the “New Morality,” the coalition of censoriuous do-gooders who run 21st century America, have other plans for him. To his distress, Grant is torn from his young bride and sent to a research station in orbit around Jupiter, charged with the task of spying on the scientists who work there. What they don’t know is that his loyalty to science may be greater than his loyalty to “The New Morality.” But that loyalty will be tested in a mission as dangerous as any ever undertaken . . .BR/divDIV[David Warner] turns it into a work of art which is worth listening to for this reason alone…David Warner gives ‘Jupiter’ an extra dimension. -ISFCrowsnest.com/I/DIVDIV /DIVDIV“With Isaac Asimov and Robert Heinlein gone, Bova, author of more than 70 books, is one of the last deans of traditional science fiction.

Satellites of the Outer Planets: Worlds in Their Own Right $12.54 Extensively revised and updated, this new edition of David A. Rothery’s acclaimed geological guide to the outer solar system includes results and close-up color and black and white images from both the 1995-1999emGalileo/emmission to Jupiter and the Voyager space probe. Rothery, a noted planetary scientist, explains the geological aspects of the major satellites of the outer planets, from Jupiter to Neptune and the Pluto-Charon system. In particular he shows how tectonic and volcanic processes, driven by heat from within, have shaped the rigid outer layers of these worlds. Rothery also discusses the similarities and differences among them and the ways in which they resemble Earth-like planets. This fascinating book is written in an introductory style ideal for first- or second-year college courses. Amateur geologists and astronomers will also find its insights rewarding.br1. IntroductionbrbrOn the first edition: Rothery does an excellent job of synthesizing the research inspired by the Voyager missions into a coherent description of outer solar system geology. –Jonathan I. Lunine,emSky & Telescope/emp/pbr…a highly readable, respectably accurate and complete nontechnical summary of planetary satellites for general and scientific audiences that is not otherwise available. Indeed, this is how I might have wished to write a book on icy satellites should I have done so. –Paul M. Schenk,emIcarus/emp/pbrRothery brings these satellites to life. –David Hughes,emNew Scientist/emp/pbrThe depth and authority of the treatment of physical geological processes makes this a good introduction to the outer satellites for undergraduate students, while the clarity of the text ensures that things do not become too complicated for less expert readers. –Lionel Wilson,emTimes Higher/ememEduation Supplement/emp/pbr. . .the illustrations are useful, plentiful and well-discussed in the text.
