Hoang Phi Pham PHYS 17400 Planet Research Project: Europa Europa is an icy moon of the planet Jupiter. It is the fourth largest moon of Jupiter, and the sixth largest moon in the solar system, being slightly smaller than Earth's moon. Europa, along with three other moons of Jupiter, Io, Ganymede, and Callisto, was discovered in 1610 by Galileo Galilei, and has been studied by humans using telescopes and space probes since the 20th century. Europa is believed to have a global ocean of water with a
Potential of Life on Europa It is without a doubt that the most fascinating thing about space is the possibility of life elsewhere beside Earth. It is estimated that the Milky Way Galaxy itself contains about 300 billion stars. Each star contains planets and some planets might even have moons. With these findings, the question is no longer whether life exists elsewhere. The probability that Earth is the only place where life exists in the universe is far too slim. NASA has identified many planets
system, Jupiter, orbits a moon only about the same size as Earth’s moon. On this moon, is an icy surface that scientists are trying to uncover. Due to the presence of what they believe to be water, there is the possibility of life on this moon named Europa. In 1609, Galileo Galilei, using “spyglass” which allowed one to see things closer than they appeared, made an early version of the telescope. With it, he observed the skies in a way no one had before. He discovered the moon isn’t perfectly globular
habitable. While the surface of Europa may contain clues about the composition of an interior ocean, debate still continues about the surface’s chemistry and how exogenous radiation processing and endogenous oceanic emplacement play a role on this moon. One way of understanding Europa is determining if the external composition reflects the internal ocean chemistry. Results from the NIMS (Near Infrared Mapping Spectrograph) instrument on Galileo inferred that the surface of Europa was dominated by hydrated
The Rape of Europa is a myth that carries the same theme as many other myths related to Zeus. Zeus sees a young maiden and is struck by her beauty. He wants to have his way with her, but he fears his wife Hera finding out. To overcome this, he takes the form of a beautiful white bull and seduces Europa to climb onto his back. Once she is on his back, he takes her out to sea to the island of Crete, where he can impregnate her without Hera intervening. Out of this affair would come three sons that
Galilei” was looking through his homemade telescope when he came across Jupiter. He notice four objects circling Jupiter and described them as "four fixed stars, totally invisible by their smallness" it was there were he discovered four large moons Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto, which underwent several name change but are now known as the Galilean moons. This was the first time celestial bodies were seen circling an object other then Earth. Jupiter spins faster than any other planet, taking 10 hours

The 1990 film Europa, Europa, directed by Agnieszka Holland, is an incredible story about a Jewish boy named Solomon Perel who adventures through Europe during the time period of World War II. Europa, Europa takes the viewer on a journey of survival, as Solomon must hide his true identity time and time again throughout the movie, in order to ensure his survival from the Nazi’s. Solomon is faced with internal struggles, he first hides his Jewish identity in order to survive, then as his life continues
Do you ever consider the idea of the aliens visiting the Earth? If so, would that mean that there is a possibility of aliens coming to earth thousands of years ago? What proof is there to support this theory? For years, researchers have been finding surprising pieces of evidence for this theory, such as ancient religious texts, possible interactions with humans, artwork from ancient cultures of strange creatures, ancient artifacts from around the world, or evidence from the Bible. Furthermore, what
It is also one of brightest objects in the sky, it is known that at night this is the brightest “star” second to Venus. The four moons are also visible from earth with binoculars. Jupiter has 63 known satellites(Feb 2004) the largest are named Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. It has a magnetic field that traps electrons, protons, and other electrically charged particles in radiation belts around the planet. Also its magnetosphere extends more than 650 million kilometers. The surprising thing that
Europa Europa GET3930 and JST3930 December 2017 Introduction The film Europa Europa, introduced in 1990, is set during the inception of World War II in Europe. Europa Europa (originally titled Hitlerjugen Salomon in its European release) is a film directed by award winning European director Agnieszka Holland gravitating around the story of Solomon Perel, played by Marco Hofschneider who plays Solly, and the real Solomon Perel played a very short but memorable part as well in the film as himself
The thought of potential life on Europa was a concept that the movie producers researched when choosing where their space mission was traveling to seek possible life. Today’s knowledge points towards Jupiter’s moon being a future destination for many space missions because of its large amounts of ice on the surface and deep oceans underneath. However, events turned unrealistic after the crew began their search on the surface. The women character in Europa scooped up the patch of ice in the life-detecting
moon, Europa. I would like to send a probe there to discover the mysterious and beautiful moon. Europa is a Galilean moon that orbits the planet Jupiter. It is the Fourth smallest of all the Galilean moons. As you can guess, Galileo Galilei was the one who first discovered it. Europa is such an extraordinary moon, so there’s so many reasons why it’s interesting. One reason is that it is physically aesthetic, with a design of brown vein-like stripes covering the surface. Another reason why Europa is
time. Art is sometimes used to convey thoughts or ideas of a time or people. If works are lost or destroyed we may lose important information from this time or the people who created the art. This matter is shown best in the movie titled The Rape of Europa. The movie begins by giving us a brief history of a painting. The painting they refer to is the Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer. It was still in its creative process at the time being painted by the artist Gustav Klimt. At this same point in time Adolf
and Europa, written in 50 BCE by Ovid, has been told and illustrated about for centuries now with Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn depicting the myth in a very elegant way as well as staying true to the history, found in other cultures and art work, and to how the myth is portrayed in Metamorphoses. By staying true to the original Latin myth, Rembrandt was able to demonstrate his knowledge of the language and location, but also create a visually accurate painting titled The Abduction of Europa.

Should not decrease the dividends of those shareholders to not diminish the stock price in the company. Past just financial concerns, there is strategic decisions that the company must create. Projects focused exclusively on the IRR and NPV itself into a short term course, when a long term strategy must be measured as well. The company must decide if it wants to claim the strong hold
and Jupiter's Moon Europa As the future proceeds and life begins getting more technical, Earth may not be the only place where the human race resides. There is already talk that some day Mars will be inhabited by humans. Jupiters moon Europa may be the next after that. Two space missions have already studied Mars. The Pathfinder, which landed on the surface of Mars was one of the missions, and the Global Surveyor, which is a satellite, is the other mission. Although Europa has no set missions
culture in history. During the World War II, Adolf Hitler destroyed thousands of pieces of art that were produced by Jews. He ultimately was attempting to erase their culture by destroying their artwork and other belongings. The movie, The Rape of Europa, gives a detailed account of Hitler’s attempt to destroy a large sum of artwork, Hitler’s desire to create a museum with, what he considered, valuable artwork, and the challenges soldiers faced to save pieces of art from being destroyed.

Justification of Financial Fair Play(FFP). Should UEFA follow the example of NHL establishing an analog of ‘Salary Cap” for European football clubs. The UEFA (Union des Associations Européennes de Football) and above all the UEFA president Michel Platini are very concerned about recent develop- ments in European club football. Many clubs have reported repeated and worsening deficits which have led to record-high debt levels during the last years. In addition, private investors and other equity partici-
Preface Sitting with a group of friends over dinner one night in a restaurant, I raised the question, what is Europa? My normally well-informed friends were totally silent. No one had any idea of what or who Europa is. So I realized that in writing about it I had first better explain it. We live on planet Earth. Being a planet, Earth orbits (encircles) the Sun while the moon orbits the Earth. These paths are both roughly circular. Human beings have always wondered whether we are alone
