Geocache Description:

FOR SERIES IMFORMATION PLEASE REFER TO "The Night Sky #1"

My main hobby since I was 5 years old as been astronomy.

A great series for geokids and geoadults alike. So sit back, hold tight and enjoy the journey.


Jupiter is the fifth planet from the Sun and the largest in the Solar System. It is a giant planet with a mass one-thousandth that of the Sun, but two and a half times that of all the other planets in the Solar System combined. Jupiter and Saturn are gas giants; the other two giant planets, Uranus and Neptune are ice giants. Jupiter has been known to astronomers since antiquity. The Romans named it after their god Jupiter. When viewed from Earth, Jupiter can reach an apparent magnitude of -2.94, bright enough for its reflected light to cast shadows, and making it on average the third-brightest object in the night sky after the Moon and Venus.
