Jupiter : Science

Jupiter : enormous, massive, great, powerful, quiet like the face of a wise man. Wise like a god, the Latin god Jupiter, with his white beard and the power of his flash. That's science and its power, one of the most evident clue that human beings are so much more than simple 'creatures'.

Be sure to have a look at the Legenda first

As you know ( if you read the introduction on the main page... ), I'm a student of Physics ( Check my Analysis I professor's homepage... I spent six months listening to his lessons! :^) ), so science plays an important role in my life. And Internet is the ideal place to consult whenever you have a scientific curiosity : you can find everything you want, from the most simple subjects to incredibly technical stuff.
Let's start, of course, from Physics. The first place to visit is NASA, where everyone, from the curious guy to the astrophysicist ( I hope it's going to be my future... :) ) could find a great number of interesting info, as well as wonderful images. The best ones are those from the Hubble Space Telescope ( HST for friends ;) ) : from this site you can even subscribe to HST mailing-list, in order to receive regular bullettins about the telescope's new discoveries. To have daily news about NASA projects and discoveries, you can even connect to Today at NASA. A little bit annoyed by all this American stuff? Do you feel a real European citizen? Take a look at ESA : we don't need NASA at all! :^)
Do you remember Galileo mission? From this site you can obtain up-to-date info about the probe, about the data it retrieved, as well as tons of wonderful pics : it's a must! Finally, if you want a sort of 'summary site' about NASA's discoveries around our planetary system, try this cool site : it's called Planetary Photojournal.
Are you an amateur astronomer? Do you like to observe planets, stars, comets, but don't want to costantly calculate their position? Try the Solar System Live site : there you can find the exact position of each observable heavenly body.
