This is Jupiter today for the 12th of March 2015. Jupiter today is a daily podcast, focusing attention on the Jupiter system for the purpose of monitoring activity. There are four Jupiter satellite events today and zero satellite mutual events today. The video begins today in Quadrant 4 heading east. Europa starts today in Quadrant 3 heading west. Ganymede spends all day in Quadrant 4 heading east. And Calisto spends all day in Quadrant 2 heading west. This blue line is the line aside to the earth. And this grey line is the line aside to the sun. In 131 UTC, EO moves behind Jupiter and at 435 UTC, EO reappears from Jupiter's shadow. At 6 hours UTC, EO has now successfully moved behind Jupiter and is in Quadrant 1 heading east. And Europa is getting near its western elongation and is going to be moving into Quadrant 2 heading west. At 1728 UTC, Europa goes through a Parajove and that's the closest that's going to be to Jupiter in this orbit. That's 664,899.2 kilometers. And then at 18 hours UTC, EO is now firmly in Quadrant 2 heading west and at 1805, EO goes through a Parajove and that's 420,022.7 kilometers. And you notice that the Parajove of EO and Europa are on almost exactly opposite sides of Jupiter. And then at 2240 UTC, the transit of EO begins and at 2326, the shadow of EO ingresses. And by 0 hours UTC tomorrow, EO is now transiting and I'm going to be moving into Quadrant 3 heading west. Europa is still in Quadrant 4 heading east along with Ganymede and Clisto continues its slow motion in Quadrant 2 heading west. Orbital ribbons for today, these are the temporal and spatial connections between the four Galilean moons. So there's the connection today between EO and Europa, EO and Ganymede, EO and Clisto. And then Europa and Ganymede is on my sheet there and Europa and Clisto. And finally Ganymede and Clisto. And then combine all these to get that for today. 24 hours of Jupiter sky sitting on the equator of Jupiter looking out over the next 24 hours. Jupiter rotates on its axis a couple of times in 24 hours. So I saw EO pop out of Jupiter shadow there. As Europa could be moving in front of Ganymede, maybe someday some human owners will actually be able to witness these events. For now we just get to simulate them. There goes EO in front of Calisto. So very dynamic place, the Jupiter system. That's why I'd like to watch it and observe it as much as possible. There goes EO between Jupiter and the Sun. That's a transit from the first point of view. The red spot crosses Jupiter's Meridian three times today. First it's zero hours 32 minutes, the next it's 1027 and the third at 2023. There's some new images posted and sent to me. Thanks for all those. I've been monitoring this curious feature here almost at the same latitude as the great red spot. I haven't looked too carefully at this yet but I've been paying attention to its position and consistency. It's been there for at least a few days. And then in this particular instance we just reverse the colors and that can bring out more interesting features that you wouldn't normally see. And there was a new radio data and there were no new papers. So it's zero hours UTC, the position of Jupiter on Earth's celestial sphere. It is a right ascension of nine hours, five minutes, 18.3 seconds and a declination of positive 17 degrees, 41 minutes, 30.2 seconds. The angular separation between Jupiter and the Sun as seen from Earth is 142.687 degrees and that's 1.083 degrees less than what it was yesterday. The phase angle today is 6.474 degrees and that's 0.164 degrees greater than what it was yesterday. The distance between Jupiter and the Earth continues to get greater and greater as Earth revolves around the Sun and appears to be moving away from Jupiter. So the distance between those two bodies is getting greater and greater every day. Today at 675,923,942 kilometers and that's 1,440,052 kilometers greater than what it was yesterday. And we've now exceeded our 60,000 kilometer per hour radio velocity mark. Today we're going to be at 60,000, 2.17 kilometers per hour and that's 1,503.13 kilometers per hour greater than what it was yesterday. The distance between Jupiter and the Sun is 799,205,502 kilometers and that's 4,838 kilometers greater than what it was yesterday. And that gives a radio velocity between Jupiter and the Sun of 1,868.25 kilometers per hour and that's 6.75 kilometers per hour slower than what it was yesterday. Central Meridian at 0 hours UTC, CM1, 317.78 degrees, CM2, 79.17 degrees, CM3, 356.54 degrees. The time of this recording is 0 hours 34 minutes UTC on the 12th of March, 2015. So please subscribe and thank you for subscribing. Please like to hear your comments and suggestions and questions and I like to see the images coming in, greatly appreciate it all of those. So you can send all of these to the email shown and until tomorrow, I bid you peace.
