Jupiter

This week my daughter checked out the last book in the planet's series from her school library.


Jupiter is the 5th planet from the Sun in the Solar System.  It's the largest planet in the Solar System.  If you combined the other 7 planets, Jupiter would still be the larger.  Jupiter has a very large hurricane-like system in its atmosphere that we all the Great Red Spot.  This system was first discovered by Galileo over 400 years ago and has existed every since.

I asked my daughter what she was going to check out next now that we've read about all of the planets, Pluto, and the Sun.  She shrugged her shoulders, thought about it a moment, and said "they have some books about stars and galaxies I could get!"  That's my girl!
