Hi Justin's here, I'm here to tell that Jupiter has water on the surface but no oxygen. Jupiter has a large and complex, and intense
magnetic field that is thought to arise from electrical currents in the rapidly spinning metallic hydrogen interior. Jupiter is made mostly out of hydrogen and helium but it has no oxygen atmosphere. it is possible that there is life on Jupiter. scientist thought
the same kind of reaction that started here on earth might have happened in the clouds of Jupiter.




Europa is the sixth moon from planet Jupiter. it was discovered in 1610 by Galileo Galilei.

Rich in ice, covered dust and in a nebula. Then particles clump together. Then ice sticks to other particles and during collision mass builds up. Gravity attracts more dust and gas ( hydrogen and helium) the heavier elements sink to the core of Proto- Jupiter.

On Oct 26 my class went to the Natural history museum. We looked at different planet when we
traveled around. We watched the big bang, and we watch another move with Whoopi Golgberg.
first we went to the Hall of metorite that landed in greenland. Also that Ahnighto is so massive that iron posts go at the bottom of the museum.
Then we went to see a movie called the big bang and the universe was hotter. then we went to
see jounry to the stars with whoopie goldberg. it was about how stars created the sun and it
gave facts about the sun.
The Q's i have was how many stars did it take to make the sun. also can people land on stars.
