Hur många Jupiter får plats i solen?
Jupiter har 1/1000 av solens massa. Om den hade 100 gånger mer materia skulle den ha varit tillräckligt tung för att ha utvecklats till en stjärna. Lyckligtvis inträffade detta inte. Lyckligtvis för att då hade de andra planeterna, inklusive jorden och därmed livet självt, kanhända aldrig bildats.
What happened to Voyager 1 and 2?
Both Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 have reached ”Interstellar space” and each continue their unique journey through the Universe. In the NASA Eyes on the Solar System app, you can see the real spacecraft trajectories of the Voyagers, which are updated every five minutes. Distance and velocities are updated in real-time.
What is the difference between Voyager and pioneer?
While Pioneer has ceased communications, both the Voyager spacecraft are performing well and are still communicating. In 2013, Voyager 1 was escaping the Solar System at a speed of about 3.6 AU (330 million mi; 540 million km) per year, while Voyager 2 was escaping at 3.3 AU (310 million mi; 490 million km) per year.
What is the speed of Voyager 2’s data transmission?
Voyager 2 is currently transmitting scientific data at about 160 bits per second. Information about continuing telemetry exchanges with Voyager 2 is available from Voyager Weekly Reports. NASA map showing trajectories of the Pioneer 10, Pioneer 11, Voyager 1, and Voyager 2 spacecraft.
What can we learn from Voyager 1 and 2?
Voyager 1 and 2 were designed to take advantage of a rare planetary alignment to study the outer solar system up close. Voyager 2 targeted Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Like its sister spacecraft, Voyager 2 also was designed to find and study the edge of our solar system. 1. Imaging Science System (ISS) 2. Ultraviolet Spectrometer (UVS) 3.
