so jupiter is a fat dad and the four inner planets are his sons. hmmmmmmm interseting. "Daddy jupiter, can you go get me a solar sandwich from McGalaxys?"
@imagineas1 It depends on what side of the sun the Earth is on. So in other words you cna see Jupiter every 6 months I believe and it will be one of the brightest objects in the night sky.
Uranus is very hard to find because it's so far from the sun. As a result not much light is reflected from it which means viewing it is much more difficult. I'm not a scientist though and have never viewed it through a telescope so my actual knowledge is limited. I just found your question interesting I guess.
@davitodude Yep, it's 20x further from the sun than the Earth, so it receives (20^2) 400 times less sunlight. You can however see it if you have great eyesight and are in a dark location and know where to look. (I fit into NONE of those categories!)
@virtualpilot45 its not 20x further it would be outside of the solar system. Earth is 1 Astronomical Unit (AU) away from the sun which is about 150 million km for us and jupiter is around 5.2 AU away from the sun so its safe to say jupiter is around 5x further then earth from the sun as opposed to 20x further :P
@davitodude I only saw it once, and it was only because it was in conjunction with Jupiter. Being the amateur I am, it would take me weeks to find it outside a conjunction.
@benthemiester I have been observing the planets since 1984, I have seen this elusive distant green planet through many telescopes, including mine. As little as a 3" refractor can resolve Uranus into a disc. Of course, to see markings on it would usually require a moderate aperture, and excellent seeing conditions. I never saw markings on Uranus, even with a 20" refractor!
@LesPaul2006 I beg to differ. Voyager did see markings on Uranus, but only at closest approach. The famous French Astronomer Audouin Dolfuss did see markings through a 60" reflector at 1000 power, but noted that they are always fuzzy and inconspicuous.
Jupiter is like the Solar Systems' "Vacuum Cleaner!" If comets or asteroids are headed our way, and Jupiter is nearby, you can count of Jupiter to save our planet! It's amazing that Shoemaker-Levy 9 crashed into Jupiter! Jupiter may be big, but the planets are SO spread out! A collision like that in our lifetime must mean the Solar System is quite active! We need to send missions to the moons! What if something were to hit Europa? What if it was even larger? We need to explore the moons ASAP!
@CreedChrist It's tough to see through this makeshift, camcorder/telescope eyepiece combo. Its still there though, and hopefully won't go away anytime soon.
Ahh that's awesome, I used to live right near Mt. Wilson. Fun place to visit. There's something ... powerfully humbling...about being able to look outside of our entire planet and peer into the void of space...despite those massive globes hanging there alongside us.
I remember hearing about the shoemaker comet when I was young. Well, that was another cosmic celebrity we lost. Id hate the day we hear Haley's comet just happens to get in Jupiter's or Saturn's path.
Astonishing view. Knowign that your eye is much much more HD quality device - I bet everything looks just amazing! I wonder how Saturn would look like...
Did you notice that Jupiter has stripes and bands, those are different gases and pressure system. The interactions between them can create storms (as the red dot indicates) When you distrupt those they mix differently and can take a while (decades or sometimes hundreds) of years to fade.
@LaEspriella basically darker clouds mix with the lighter clouds on top, and because this is over an area that can be larger than the earth, can take weeks or months to fade.
@LaEspriella To put it a little simpler, how do you scar water? You put a ripple in it. If its cloudy water it'll churn the area and either make a thicker cloud in one spot or some clearing hole in the top layer of clouds. Remember that Jupiter is immense and its immense gravity makes those gases more dense and that any ripple would make a large lasting mark.
i never knew it was possible to see Jupiter like that with any publicly available telescope! So beautiful, think ill get into learning about the solar system again, was always my favorite subject in science class.
Thanks for the upload,! All of your video content is good stuff.
At those people saying it's fake because there was no explosion sound:
The speed of sound is 343 Metres a second, the distance between Earth and Jupiter is is 964 Million kilometres apart, calculate that into metres: 964.000.000x1000=964,000.000.000 Metres, now calculate that further, and it would take thousand, maybe even millions of years to get to Earth.
BUT, Sound = Air Vibrations, Space doesn't contain any air, so no air, no sound in space (:
@EducateTheAtheists its so nice to see christians at church/reading bibles/playing the faith card/trolling videos about astronomy.... like it proves anything

Who are the nearly 500 assholes that gave a thumbs down? Thumbs down for looking at Jupiter through a telescope? Another bot campaign or simply members of the anti-TF club? What a bunch of douchbags!
I'm surprised that they didn't line-up the 100 inch Hooker for the view.. I'm lost here in Canada now and the closest thing we have to a scope is at the University of Lethbridge, Alberta... ooowoo a think the dome is about 14 foot diameter? I miss being able to drive to Mt Wilson and more so, hiking up from the northside, on the 'Rattlesnake trail'. Great vid clip, Nice skyline (Mt Badden-Powell in foregrnd). lat'r Buzz
Interesting to see what it looked like through the 60 in. scope. My 8" practically had the same image. I wonder if it's because of the optics or just poor seeing conditions that night. Thanks for the video!
I just thought of something... Since Jupiter is made up of helium gas, what if when we entered the planet (I know we'd die instantly, but WHAT IF) our voices got all high pitched. It would be a good laugh before you died.
@Zerginfantry well its referred to as an "impact scar" my guess is that its not really damage so much as the gas or remains of the meteor is stuck there causing a very noticeable discoloration
HA HA!! AWESOME question. And I have to share something that will help answer:
Robert Miles, producer of the excellent doc 'Fastwalkers' has been to Jupiter and shares ALL the nitty gritty details in his interview with Art Bell on Coast to Coast AM, on utube now. Robert's description of the colors on the surface of the planet is EXTRAORDINARY. Radiant, vibrant, flourescent pinks, blues, and lavenders, with a silvery ocean.
He can't have been to Jupiter. One, there is no Surface he would simply pass through until he met the liquid metallic core, and two the immense gravity would squish him until he is no more.
Hey, I would like to know what a good beginners telescope is. I have been using those stretch out ones sailors use to look at the moon, but when i use it for like mars All i can see is dots
in my experience, i've come to the conclusion there is no such thing as "starter telescope" to have "for the beggining until you buy a better one", i recommend buy the best you can with whatever budget you have. Don't listen to crap like "well you should buy a smaller one for starters", you'll just be dissapointed cause you won't see what you expect to.
My only advice is buy a reflector with as big an aperture (mirror diameter) as you can afford DON't look for big focal length telescopes
man, when i was younger my mum bought me a massive expensive telliscope for my christmas, sadly i was too young to understand the books that told me where the planets were.
It's not too hard to find them, look for what looks like an orange star. They really stick out from the regular stars and are usualy very bright. Jupiter, Saturn and Mars look bright orange, Murcury and Venus can't uaualy be seen as they are close to the sun during the day. Neptune and Uranus are hard to spot but if you ever see a greenish star then that is probably one of them. Pluto is just hard to see at all.
If you would like, when ever you want to see a planet. Tell me which part of the world you live in and ill tell you what planets can be seen and where to look.
btw, in my experimental novel "Bugzilla!" my two "heroes" go to Mt. Wilson to use the 60-inch Hale telescope. the scene contains a history of Mt. Wilson beginning at about page 89 (bookmark = Mt_Wilson_Trail) ...
yahoo group bugzilla-novel ... files -> Bugzilla-4-Nov-2009.doc
Jupiter is a very nice planet. Its atmosphere visibly distorts its non-transparent features. It IS an atmosphere that is liquid to solid the deeper one 'watches'. :)
WOW. I would have loved to have been there to see that. I have a nice size telescope, nothing like Mt. Wilsom obviously, however I live in a city and don't really have anyplace in the country I could take it.
I watched this in 1994 with my 6 year old son through a 10" dobsonion and as the planet turned the shockwave came into view looking like a huge donnut with a black center. The ripple could be seen clearly on the outer edge ! Many times the size of the earth ! spectacular.
Thunderfoot, that is an absolutely fantastic view! I think the camera fuzzed it up a bit, but I can only imagine how it looked in person! I'm so jealous, man! The only detailed object I've ever seen with my own eyes is our moon.
@XxGreenDayzxX Well, I'd say that's not really a valid metaphor, since a man would've been instantly killed by any meteor large enough to make it down to the surface.
You have a moon as well. Not bad for a camcorder. You should try again when Saturn and its rings are visible, now that is impressive. Welcome to the wonderful universe of astronomy. Member: Observers Group, Norman Lockyer Obs, England
I was wondering... since Jupiter is just composed of a bunch of gases, how come the lightning storms and other forms of energy don't cause it to light on fire and become like the Sun? I mean isn't that how the Sun formed, because the gas caught on fire? Why doesn't this happen with Jupiter?
While Jupiter has a lot of mass and density (to cause pressure), it's not enough for fusion to occur and turn it into a star.
I hope that helped some. :)
Phil Plait's site 'Bad Astronomy' (which is to say he debunks bad astronomy) is one of the great sources for investigating and answering these burning (yeah, bad pun, I know) questions.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Wow! "rolexx", your dumb as shit, Jupiter has no oxygen, thus fire has no feul, the massive gravity of a star forces two different kinds of hydrogen together and form helium. This nuclear fusion creates radiation energy, but no, this would require a high school education, but I just looked it up and I was right, Jupiter is comprised of 90% hydrogen and 10% helium (a 75/25% mass ratio) and contains small amounts of methane, water and ammonia.
No, because he clearly is being a smartass and acting like science doesn't have any merit, all these people think "God" did it, and science threatens that. So yeah why the fuck doesn't Jupiter form into a star, I doubt he really cares.
It seems to me just a question from someone seeking knowledge. Even if he were suggesting "god" did it.. it is generally a good idea to approach the passing of knowledge with as little spewing of venom and insult as possible. This is part of the problem. If you have the knowledge but are unwilling to share it, or you make people take a self-esteem hit in order to grasp it, then you will do nothing but push them away.

Interesting to see what it looked like through the 60 in. scope. My 8" practically had the same image. I wonder if it's because of the optics or just poor seeing conditions that night. Thanks for the video!

I just thought of something... Since Jupiter is made up of helium gas, what if when we entered the planet (I know we'd die instantly, but WHAT IF) our voices got all high pitched. It would be a good laugh before you died.

Wait, how could there be a scar on Jupiter if it's a gas giant?
Zerginfantry 2 years ago
@Zerginfantry well its referred to as an "impact scar" my guess is that its not really damage so much as the gas or remains of the meteor is stuck there causing a very noticeable discoloration

HA HA!! AWESOME question. And I have to share something that will help answer:
Robert Miles, producer of the excellent doc 'Fastwalkers' has been to Jupiter and shares ALL the nitty gritty details in his interview with Art Bell on Coast to Coast AM, on utube now. Robert's description of the colors on the surface of the planet is EXTRAORDINARY. Radiant, vibrant, flourescent pinks, blues, and lavenders, with a silvery ocean.
Thank you Robert!

He can't have been to Jupiter. One, there is no Surface he would simply pass through until he met the liquid metallic core, and two the immense gravity would squish him until he is no more.

He'd probably incinerate long before he got to the core...

Hey, I would like to know what a good beginners telescope is. I have been using those stretch out ones sailors use to look at the moon, but when i use it for like mars All i can see is dots
Nsvlogs1979 2 years ago
in my experience, i've come to the conclusion there is no such thing as "starter telescope" to have "for the beggining until you buy a better one", i recommend buy the best you can with whatever budget you have. Don't listen to crap like "well you should buy a smaller one for starters", you'll just be dissapointed cause you won't see what you expect to.
My only advice is buy a reflector with as big an aperture (mirror diameter) as you can afford DON't look for big focal length telescopes

man, when i was younger my mum bought me a massive expensive telliscope for my christmas, sadly i was too young to understand the books that told me where the planets were.
I never found any planets :(.
MicLODsonKDYboxes 2 years ago 2
It's not too hard to find them, look for what looks like an orange star. They really stick out from the regular stars and are usualy very bright. Jupiter, Saturn and Mars look bright orange, Murcury and Venus can't uaualy be seen as they are close to the sun during the day. Neptune and Uranus are hard to spot but if you ever see a greenish star then that is probably one of them. Pluto is just hard to see at all.

Jupiter is a very nice planet. Its atmosphere visibly distorts its non-transparent features. It IS an atmosphere that is liquid to solid the deeper one 'watches'. :)

I watched this in 1994 with my 6 year old son through a 10" dobsonion and as the planet turned the shockwave came into view looking like a huge donnut with a black center. The ripple could be seen clearly on the outer edge ! Many times the size of the earth ! spectacular.

"Though, it is interesting why lightening doesn't cause it to go up like the Hindenburg...LOL "
..probably because its atmosphere only has trace amounts of oxygen.

You have a moon as well. Not bad for a camcorder. You should try again when Saturn and its rings are visible, now that is impressive. Welcome to the wonderful universe of astronomy. Member: Observers Group, Norman Lockyer Obs, England

I was wondering... since Jupiter is just composed of a bunch of gases, how come the lightning storms and other forms of energy don't cause it to light on fire and become like the Sun? I mean isn't that how the Sun formed, because the gas caught on fire? Why doesn't this happen with Jupiter?
rolexx 2 years ago
I'm sure someone else could expand on this, but I can tackle a bit of it...
"since Jupiter is just composed of a bunch of gases"
To clear this up, observations and calculations suggest that Jupiter is much more likely to be a solid core with an enormous atmosphere.
"how come the lightning storms and other forms of energy don't cause it to light on fire"
It doesn't quite have the right combination of elements for that to happen or to sustain a fire if it did happen.
0okamino 2 years ago
cont...
"and become like the Sun?"
While Jupiter has a lot of mass and density (to cause pressure), it's not enough for fusion to occur and turn it into a star.
I hope that helped some. :)
Phil Plait's site 'Bad Astronomy' (which is to say he debunks bad astronomy) is one of the great sources for investigating and answering these burning (yeah, bad pun, I know) questions.

jonyb0b13 1 year ago
The sun is not on fire. There are nuclear reactions in the core which heat up the surface to about 6000C/10000F. At this temparature it glows.
Jupiter is simply not big enough to sustain a nuclear reaction.

This comment has received too many negative votes show
Wow! "rolexx", your dumb as shit, Jupiter has no oxygen, thus fire has no feul, the massive gravity of a star forces two different kinds of hydrogen together and form helium. This nuclear fusion creates radiation energy, but no, this would require a high school education, but I just looked it up and I was right, Jupiter is comprised of 90% hydrogen and 10% helium (a 75/25% mass ratio) and contains small amounts of methane, water and ammonia.

Why do you have to go and insult someone asking a decent question?
Is it to prove to yourself how superior you are to the rest of us?
gold333 2 years ago 7
No, because he clearly is being a smartass and acting like science doesn't have any merit, all these people think "God" did it, and science threatens that. So yeah why the fuck doesn't Jupiter form into a star, I doubt he really cares.
ForgetGod666 2 years ago
It seems to me just a question from someone seeking knowledge. Even if he were suggesting "god" did it.. it is generally a good idea to approach the passing of knowledge with as little spewing of venom and insult as possible. This is part of the problem. If you have the knowledge but are unwilling to share it, or you make people take a self-esteem hit in order to grasp it, then you will do nothing but push them away.
