The Bolt of Jupiter



Adam is the ANTenna.





Join us as the radio antennas of NASA’s Deep Space Network, through its stations in Goldstone, California (thru GAVRT), Madrid, Spain and Canberra, Australia support a 24-hour observation campaign of Jupiter. 

Four hundred years ago Galileo Galilei turned his telescope on the planet Jupiter, and his discoveries changed forever the way humanity thinks about the Universe.

To celebrate Galileo’s discoveries, from the 21st of November (see the tracking schedule for full details) we will undertake the Jupiter 24 Project, 24 hours of continuous radio observation of the planet Jupiter using the radio telescopes of NASA’s Deep Space Network, the DSN.  

Get ready 4 the Bolt of Joy!
