Jupiter: The Planet, Satellites and MagnetosphereFran Bagenal, Timothy E. Dowling, William B. McKinnon, William McKinnon This comprehensive volume authoritatively describes our understanding of the complex and fascinating jovian system. Written by a team of world experts, it brings together every aspect of the giant planetary system, from the deep interior of Jupiter to the distant tiny satellites and swarms of escaping gas and dust. Chapters present a synthesis of experimental data from the Voyager, Galileo and Cassini missions, from telescopes on the ground and in space, and from theoretical models on the different components that make up the Jupiter system. This book is a valuable introduction for graduate students and an indispensable resource for all researchers in planetary science. |

The science behind your deliberations is flawed. You base your information on previous planetary alignments, not leaving room for the simple fact that ALL planets rotate.
Thank you, anways ;o)
