| 0:00.0 | I'm John |
| 0:05.4 | John Bachelor. It is Bob Zimmerman's Behind the Black subscription or donation time. |
| 0:10.0 | Your generosity must much appreciated because we're going hunting for facts in our solar system first |
| 0:16.8 | Hubble and taking pictures of Jupiter to see what Bob |
| 0:21.1 | This is an example of a capability that Hubble has that a lot of people are aware of Hubble, though it's an optical telescope, if instruments do take data in the ultraviolet and in the infrared beyond our ability to see, not very far in each direction, but enough to be able to get data. |
| 0:40.0 | And so they took an ultraviolet image of Jupiter using Hubble. |
| 0:45.0 | And I provide links to optical views so you can compare the two. |
| 0:49.0 | And the ultraviolet view tells you things about the atmosphere of Jupiter |
| 0:57.0 | that you can't see an optical by comparing the two. |
| 1:00.0 | In a sense, this allows them to get multi-wave satellite observations of this |
| 1:04.4 | atmosphere, much like they do here on Earth with our weather satellites |
| 1:08.3 | John, and that's what they did. |
| 1:09.3 | And the image is very cool. |
| 1:10.9 | It's all false color, but it does keep you a sense of the |
| 1:14.6 | differences in the atmosphere between different radiation and Juno is the |
| 1:19.1 | Jupiter probe and it is giving us information about Ganymead, what? |
| 1:23.2 | It looked at the, they did a close fly by in June 21 and then looking at the data, |
| 1:30.5 | they discovered there are salts and organic carbon-based molecules on the |
| 1:36.2 | surface which they think comes probably from the interior ocean that |
| 1:40.9 | get me it has this is not. It's carbon-based molecules organic they call it but at least this suggests there's a brine a liquid brine may be underneath which means in liquid ocean underneath the surface chart. |
| 1:52.6 | Galaxy, Bob's got pictures of the galaxy spinning out there and we mentioned galaxies |
| 1:58.3 | only because we've been curious more than that for some time in James Webb Space Telescope when it first |
