JAMES: IF YOUR FAVORITE PLANET IS JUPITER,
HAVE WE GOT A SHOW FOR YOU!

DEAN: JUPITER IS NEARING OPPOSITION NEXT WEEK
AND IS IN A GREAT LOCATION FOR VIEWING RIGHT

NOW.

JAMES: THEREFORE, WE'VE DEVOTED THIS EPISODE
TO THE LARGEST PLANET IN OUR SOLAR SYSTEM.

LET'S SHOW YOU!

JAMES: OK, WE HAVE OUR SKIES SET FOR 9:00
PM, ANY NIGHT THIS WEEK.

IF YOU LOOK TOWARD THE EAST, YOU'LL SEE JUPITER
NEAR SPICA, THE BRIGHTEST STAR OF VIRGO THE

MAIDEN.

DEAN: THE PLANET JUPITER HAS BEEN OBSERVED
IN THE SKY SINCE ANTIQUITY.

THE ANCIENT ROMANS NAMED IT AFTER THE KING
OF THEIR GODS, WHOM THE GREEKS REFERRED TO

AS ZEUS.

JAMES: OF ALL THE PLANETS, JUPITER HAS THE
STRONGEST AND LARGEST MAGNETIC FIELD.

THE SOLAR WIND CAUSES THIS FIELD TO EXTEND
AWAY FROM JUPITER TO ALMOST THE ORBIT OF SATURN!

DEAN: SO, GET OUTSIDE AND GAZE UPON THE KING
OF THE PLANETS.

BOTH: KEEP LOOKING UP!
