Finding Jupiter

Sparks fly when Orion and Ray meet for the first time at a roller rink in Memphis. But these star-crossed souls have a past filled with secrets that threaten to tear them apart before their love story even begins. Found poetry, grief, and fate collide in this powerful debut. Ray: Just once I’d like my birthday to be about me, and not the day my father died. I want to be Ray Jr., the tall girl from Memphis with the poetry beats and the braids that stay poppin’. And when I meet Orion at the skating rink, that’s exactly who I am. He pulls my hand, and instead of being defined by my past, he races me toward my future. Orion: When I dive into the pool, it’s just me and my heartbeat. There’s no dad, no dead sister, and no distracting noises. But I can’t hold my breath forever. And since I met Ray, I don’t want to. The closer we get, though, the more I see I’m not the only one caught in her wake. With a lyrical blend of found poetry and poignant prose and the addition of black and white illustrations, this stunning debut captures young Black love and a decades-old family secret that may shatter a romance that feels written in the stars.

In this exciting story of the Galileo mission to investigate Jupiter, noted astronomer Daniel Fischer weaves together the many disparate facts learned about this most fascinating planet and its satellites. Fischer tells the entire story of Galileo: a behind-the-scenes look at its difficult course from idea to reality; its launch; the problems it encountered early on and how these were resolved; and finally, what will become of the probe. Along the way, the author describes what we have learned about Jupiter, including what the Jovian atmosphere is really like, and the peculiar reality of the planets magnetic field. The story of the journey to Jupiter is combined with interesting details about Galileos capacities and a graphic description of the solar system, with an episode on how Galileo would judge the chances of finding life on Earth. The book concludes with a look at the future, closing on the Cassini probe to Saturn. Beautifully illustrated and well written, Mission Jupiter shows us space exploration at its best and clearly and vividly conveys the essential science.

Let's get working on the Jupiter Ignition Project - The Greatest Achievement in Human History! It may seem like Science Fiction, but there is a planet not so very far away that is at war with the greatest threat that exists in the universe - self-annihilation. They have come to the point in their technology that within the next 50 to 100 years they are either going to murder all life on their planet, and then their own mass suicide OR they are going to turn their technological prowess into the greatest achievement by any life form anywhere in the universe. It's going to be one or the other. But this is happening not on another planet way out there in Space somewhere. It's not science fiction any more. This is our fate staring us right in the eyes here on the Earth - the little blue marble. WE now have in front of us the method of saving all life on this planet by simply igniting the planet Jupiter into our second sun. Jupiter is known by astronomers to be a 'Gas Giant'. This isn't a large man with indigestion. It's a classification for planets that start to develop into a sun, but never quite accomplish spontaneous fusion combustion that is sufficient to burn millions of tons of Hydrogen per second. Jupiter is composed of hydrogen just as the sun is, but that hydrogen never became hot enough or compressed enough to start the chain reaction under its own power. The good news is that the Lawrence Livermore lab, a part of the Dept of Energy, within the United States Government recently cracked the code for a human made fusion reaction and actually created fusion in the lab. They used over 100 high-powered lasers to aim them at a single spot in a magnetic bottle filled with Hydrogen atoms. When they got it right, the fusion reaction took off and produced more energy coming out than they had to put into it to get it started. The planet Jupiter is nothing more than a guzzilion tons of hydrogen atoms all contained and compressed in the largest magnetic bottle we have found in this part of the universe. And so it became obvious to this writer that the time may have come where we could actually achieve the same fusion reaction on a larger laboratory, our own solar system and pull off what people will someday know as the 'The Greatest Achievement in Human history' - the ignition of a planet into a star, our 2nd sun. This book not only explains the way that this can be done by SpaceX from Elon Musk, Blue Origin from Jeff Bezos and NASA from all of us, but it also shows in great detail how this could be our cheapest, fastest and best way out of our present conundrum of requiring so much energy produced by fossil fuels which is the basis of our whole economy and turning all of that infra-structure away from the climate emergency that it causes and towards the entire planet running on Solar Power - which will double as soon as we can turn Jupiter into our 2nd sun. There are risks of course. It could be the biggest flop in history, or the 2nd sun could produce so much more heat in our sky that we make things worse. It is my best educated guess that the gradual over-warming of our planet due to a second sun will actually be less than it is now due to the fact that we will no longer be forced to use fossil fuels any more, which will soon produce zero CO2 poured into the atmosphere and therefore, the greenhouse effect will decline, actually cooling our Earth and perhaps even in time to save us and all future generations. Of course, educated guesses are not good enough to base trillions of dollars of investment that will be used to do this thing, and that's why this book is also a call to action to start the research and development of this concept so that we can have the confidence to go ahead with it or replace it with something better Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and NASA are the key individuals we need to join hands and get it started now.
