No matter what, as little kids, we all had our curiosity at its peak in one moment or the other. We always had the urge to know about something and I was no exception.
Just like most kids, I learnt there are other planets apart from earth from the school teacher. But I wanted to know more
Do people also live there?
What do the people look like?
Do they have what we have here?
The questions went on, but I don't want to be an astronaut. As time went up, I was able to have a little knowledge on them, with Jupiter being no exception.
Upon learning it is the largest planet in the world, was I surprised? No. I was not physically familiar with them but I was somehow expecting another planet to be.
It does not seem to be able to accommodate any living thing either as research has it that Jupiter has mainly hydrogen and helium as its atmospheric compounds; living things survive on oxygen and carbon dioxide. Apart from that, people have always talked about how impossible it is to live on some of these planets due to their weather too, Jupiter being no exception especially with the extreme windy environment.
Seventy nine moons? Isn't that surprising? I could not hide my amazement when I realized Jupiter has that many moons in contrast to the one we have here on earth. Of course, its time zone would be different from ours. The possibility of Jupiter harbouring life seems low to me but surprisingly, its moons (ganymede, lo etc) have the ability to, according to research.
Thank God and fortunately for this planet’s exploration through Juno mission and spacecraft, we are able to know a bit or more about it even without going over there. Same thing applies to other planets.
