About the Course
Did you know that astronomers call Jupiter a failed star? Jupiter is made primarily of hydrogen and helium like a star, but it is not large enough to trigger a fusion reaction in its core. Jupiter is a fascinating planet. It is the largest planet, and with all of that gravity, it also has many orbiting moons and other objects.
In this class, we will take a trip to Jupiter to investigate. We will discuss its composition, gravity, moons, and more. Students will learn about the new information that NASA has received from the seven spacecraft they have sent to study it and exciting facts that relate directly to life on Earth. Students will finish their journey with a fun game to see how many fun facts they can remember from their trip.
