Lecture 24: The Jovian Planets
We turn our attention to the Giant Planets of the outer Solar System:
the gas giants Jupiter and Saturn, and the ice giants Uranus and Neptune.
We will review their structure and properties, and then examine their
systems of moons, with special attention to the giant moons. While the
Jovian planets themselves seem unlikely places to hunt for life in our
Solar System, a few of their largest moons may be more promising than
appears at first sight. We'll explore this further in subsequent lectures
in this unit. Recorded live on 2009 Oct 28 in Room 1005 Smith Laboratory
on the Columbus campus of The Ohio State University.
