Journey to the Gas Giants (Probes Episode #2)

<p>Far beyond the reaches of the four rocky planets, we find our Solar System's showpiece worlds- the two gas giants, Jupiter and Saturn. As the two largest planets, they both make tantalising targets for probes exploring the planetary neighbourhood, but both lie significantly further from the sun than the Earth and its terrestrial neighbours. But early in the 1970s, the technology for deep space voyages was primed, and missions to both Jupiter and Saturn ensued. Those missions make up the topic of our video today, in this second episode of our trilogy of Probes that Studied the Solar System. </p><p><br /></p><p>CHAPTERS:</p><p>00:00: Welcome Back </p><p>01:52: The Gas Giants </p><p>04:11: When Planets Align </p><p>08:15: Pioneer 10's Journey to Jupiter</p><p>12:46: Pioneer 11's Jupiter Journey </p><p>15:10: Pioneer 11's Saturn Encounter</p><p>16:59: A Postcard from Humanity </p><p>18:46: The Galileo Spacecraft </p><p>24:27: Cassini-Huygens Spacecraft</p><p>29:11: Landing on Titan </p><p>32:14: Enceladus' Underground Ocean</p><p>33:55: Other Studies: Rings &amp; Storms</p><p>36:52: Cassini's Grand Finale</p><p>38:38: Future Missions to the Gas Giants</p><p>42:33: To be Continued...</p>
