To this day, before that & Ccaron; no 46 years, Voyager 1 sent to the land of the first photographs of the largest planet of our Sun & Ccaron;
That historic recording, which has been outperformed by all the previous photos on our planet, was just an introduction to what & Cacute; e. Only 349,000 kilometers.
The trip was started by Ccaron in 1977, when Nasa launched Voyager 1 and his twin Voyager 2, using the rarely planetary alignment that happens to & dstrok; and every 175 years. Ve & cacute; In January 1979, while the probe approached Jupiter, the first photographs she sent to Earth surpassed the quality of all the footage of the & Ccaron.
During his quarterly, the Voyager 1 sent a whopping 19,000 photographs of Jupiter and his satellites. These shots were discovered by then the Nevi & dstrok details of Jupiter’s atmosphere, including the Cacute; both storm systems and a well -known great red spot. However, the greatest surprisingly surprised, the active volcanoes on Jupiter’s moon and the first time – the first time the active volcanoes were found, were found elsewhere in the Sun & Ccaron system except on Earth.
The mission brought another knowledge and cacaron. Voyager 1 revealed a thin ring around Jupiter, as well as two new months: Thebe and Metis. Detailed recordings of the month of Europe, Ganimed and Kalista showed their desk, which later led to the theory of the existence of underground oceans on those bodies.
The whole world has admired
The public followed this mission with great interest. Photos of unprecedented in their quality and details they discovered have caused admiration around the world. The scientific community has received invaluable data that have changed our understanding of Jupiter and his months.
Today, 46 years later, Voyager 1 still writes history. As the first human object to leave the heliosphere and entered the me & dstrok; a hilling space, the probe is currently away from the earth than any other object that & Ccaron has ever created. Despite & ccaron; The great distance, still communicating with the earth, sending & cacute; and valuable data on the space between the & dstrok;
O & ccaron is expected that & cacute; e voyager 1 continue his work until about 2025, when & cacute; his radioisotopic thermoelectrics & ccaron; nor generators stop manufacturing enough energy to work scientific instruments. Until then, this tireless probe continues his journey through the universe, as a witness to the human to know & zcaron.
Jupiter’s detection & Cacute, which brought Voyager 1 laid the foundations for later missions like Galilee, June and Cacute, Europa Clipper, continued by Istria & Zcaron.
